WITH EVERY GOODBYE, YOU LEARN: Poetry, by Jorge Louis Borges

WITH EVERY GOODBYE, YOU LEARN

With every goodbye you learn.
And you learn that love
not lean on someone,
and the company is not security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses are not contracts,
and the gifts are not promises.

(Jorge Luis Borges)
