1.) Goodbye for today, to my boss, just a friendly “I’m
leaving now, if you want to ask me anything, tell me anything, or say “no, I
need you to stay a little longer.”
2.) Goodbye, I’m leaving the house. You’ll see me in a
little while. This is where I’m going, if you want to tack a few errands on my
back.
3.) Goodbye, I’m going home. I won’t be seeing you again for
a while. There are hugs and handshakes. A few vague remarks to keep in touch, confirm
that next time is on the books, safely planned.
4.) Goodbye, I have to get back to what I was doing. I didn’t
expect to see you, chance happened to throw us together. We had a nice
conversation, the kind we always intended to have, but not like this. So we say
we’ll make plans soon, but the future’s uncertain, and we’re both busy.
5.) Goodbye, I doubt I’ll ever see you again. Thank you for
the memories, the lessons and the laughs, I won’t forget.
6.) Goodbye, we’ve only just met but I hope to see you
again. With any luck we’ll be good friends.
7.) Goodbye, I want you gone. It was a mistake to talk to
you and I just want it to end.
8.) Goodbye, I don’t know when I’ll see you again, but I
will.
