Go away girl, go away and let me pack my dreams Now where did I put those yesteryears made up with broken seams Where shall I sweep the pieces my God they still look new There's a taxi waiting at the door but there's only room for you
Goodbye S.s - meaning Summary
Departures and Lingering Memory
The speaker tells a girl to leave so he can "pack" his dreams and gather the tattered remnants of past years. He imagines trying to sweep up broken, oddly fresh memories while a taxi waits to take him away. The poem compresses a moment of wanting departure with an inability to let go: the journey is ready, but emotional baggage—and the person addressed—still determine whether he leaves.
