They always leave you with an empty feeling on your insides. at that instant your mind flashes back to all saved memories you have shared with that person - its the equivalent of your life flashing before your eyes. The good, the bad and the ugly all rolled up into one moment.
Its a bitter sweet feeling because as much as you will miss that person it is all for the good that they have to live - a damned if you do damned if you don't moment. There's a certain sadness attributed to some goodbyes cos in most cases you have that strong sense that this will be the last time you will see, be close, be familiar with this person. Its a sinking feeling that all you have are memories, that with time will fade or be eroded by this play called LIFE.
I hate goodbyes.
They say 20 friends cannot play together for 20 years; that may be true but when the play ends all 20 of them wish the games could have continued. When the numbers become 2 left on the playing field, the absence of the lost 18 become obvious. You may be saying to yourself, change the game or the field but the truth is memories were created on that field and within that game, its easier said than done.
We all meet to part and part to meet again someday, my prayer is that when we do meet again that it be for the better, that the memories remain and should we part once more sometime in the future, that it still leaves us with a bitter sweet feeling cos then we will know that we have really made an impact on the others' life.
Goodbyes suck but I say it anyway, Goodbye and Goodluck.
