Hello & Bye

Hello and bye seem to be taken for granted
We see each other and say hello without really caring
Or say bye absent mindedly
Even go out of our way to ask the civil “how are you” or “what’s up”
When the only thing we want to hear is what they have been up to
Or see what they are wearing
Sometimes even thinking of something random while they are talking to us
Forgetting that might be the first or last time we talk to them
Check out what they are wearing,or even hear what they have been up to
Well truth is nobody knows the future
So next time when you say hello try to really mean it
Yes not everyone in your life matters
Unless it’s the last time you said hello, bye or see you later
Then they start to matter to you
Because that will be the last time you saw them
Checked them out or find out what they are up to
Why wait till It’s too late
