A tear begins to fall as she turns to say goodbye.
The hardest goodbye that she'll ever have to make.
One last kiss and one last embrace.
Why must parents be so cruel?
She gathers herself and heads for the car;
never taking a glance back.
She lands in her car, face to the steering wheel crying.
Why must everything good have an end?
She pulls out with a smash to the rearview
and heads West, leaving nothing but a cloud of dust.
Why must goodbyes be so hard?
