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.
