Challenge
The Hardest
Which one is the hardest, to say hello for the first time or to say goodbye forever?
introductions
the leaving gets easy after a while.
always for the same reason,
on repeat.
a broken record filled with
scratches and scrapes.
but the hellos,
they're all different.
walking up to a stranger,
a closed soul,
and struggling to find
words
in a place where there aren't
any,
is nearly impossible.
but somehow,
surviving the silence
and beginning a story
afterwards makes it
worth it.
