I said goodbye to a dear friend today.

"I came to say goodbye, and get my suit."

"Oh no…you're leaving. For good."

We hugged.

"Erika is driving me, she's just outside. Is it alright if I take this metal hanger?"

"It's not mine."

He turned to me.

"Don't let the bastards get to you."

"I don't…I won't."

We hugged.

"I'm sorry I didn't come to Jeremey's last night."

"It was a lousy night anyway."

"I'm so sorry…"

We hugged.

"Good luck, really, and write often."

We hugged.

"I'm sorry about…goodbyes."

"It is awful, isn't it?"

He frowned. He wasn't crying.

"Well, goodbye."
