On giving way...

And I would rather say
a thousand hellos
a hundred goodbyes
than tell you another untruth.

I like this ... That last line makes it for me.

Thank you, I still think this is nicely concise with the last line being the pay off. (I may be slow in responding to comments, but at least I usually do respond).

This reminded me of something someone like Mark Twain would say.
Wonderful job. =)

Thank you. I'm a bit surprised, but mostly flattered, by the Mark Twain comparison. If I'm lucky, and if I work hard, I might be half the writer he was.
