Value

Hello.
And,
Goodbye.

Let's leave it at that.
Before it becomes foul, and spoils us both.

There are plenty of other sad young men who would love your company.
But I'm afraid I'm one who is simply best alone.

I wish I could say it was some kind of love or tragedy that made me this way.
But as far as I remember, it's just who I am.
And there's something about me that always keeps a person or two like you around.

There is nothing great.
No good luck charm
No spasm of my brain.

Just a lot of time counted and spent.
And this was all I could buy.
