There's a sad difference between Hi and Hello.
I write, read, crochet, sing, and play musical instruments. A sucker for learning.
Poem #3
"Hi" is a happy introduction to new things.
A statement full of excitement and interest.
A kind gesture to someone you just met.
And somewhat a longing to the start of beautiful things to happen
In the world of two people
Ecstatic to be with each other.
While "Hello" is the beginning of goodbye.
Can't you hear?
That particular tone of disappointment.
Hovering and echoing
In a gloomy place called uncertainty.
So think carefully of what you'll say.
You can shower hope to everyone
Or pour buckets of disdain
To a person who chooses to say
"Hi" to you
Every morning
Every day
