#21 Ways To Say Goodbye


Listen Later

Goodbye.

It's a simple word isn't it.
Yet it contains so many different connotations and meanings that it can mean almost anything at all.

The simple goodbye,

For a friend you know
You'll meet again tomorrow

The goodbye when leaving home

To the family you've known you're life thus far
And going out on your own to this world so bizarre

The goodbye when you aren't sure when you'll meet again

When you don't know whether you should hold back the tears
If the next time you meet will be in years

The goodbye when you know you wont meet again

When a friend is leaving your world for good
And lives are parting like they never should

The first goodbye of a new friend

When you know you'll have fun again soon
The goodbye of a friendship newly hewn

The goodbye you give when you don't want to leave

When circumstances seek to drag you away
When all you really want to do is stay

The final goodbye you'll ever say

The one thing all of us have to one day give
The only one you never outlive

The goodbye you never said, but now it's to late

There's no sense of closure, just emptiness inside
The goodbye never said to the person who died
