GoodBye/Missing You Quotes
I learned that things change, people change, and it doesn't mean you forget the past or try to cover it up. It simply means that you move on, and treasure the memories. ~ Alicia Boxler
Good-bye may seem forever. Farewell is like the end, but in my heart's the memory and there you'll always be. ~ The Fox 'n' the Hound
Nothing you love is lost. Not really. Things, people - they always go away, sooner or later. You can't hold them, any more that you can hold moonlight. But if they've touched you, if they're inside of you, then they're still yours. The only things you ever really have are the ones you hold inside your heart.
If you think missing me is hard, then you should try missing you.
I never knew it would be this hard to lose something I never had. ~ The Wonder Years
Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime. We'll take the best, forget the rest, and someday we'll find these are the best of times.
I'll remember all the laughter as we go our separate ways, but there's so much we're still earning and we cannot be afraid. There's a world outside our door and nothing's in our way, but if it's now what we're looking for, we'll meet again someday.
Look for the rainbow in every storm, fly like an angel, good-bye my friend. I know you're gone, you said you're gone, but I can still feel you here. ~ Spice Girls - "Goodbye"
It's weird…you know the end of something great is coming, but you wanna hold on, just for one more second…just so it can hurt a little more. ~ Tonya Timmons
Sometimes you know that later on in your life, a memory will not justify what you're feeling, and you don't want the moment to end.
Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some people move our souls to dance. They awaken us to new understandings with the passing whisper of their wisdom. Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon. They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints in our heart, and we are never ever the same. ~ Chicken Soup for the Soul
Good-byes make you think, they make you realize what you've had, what you've lost, and what you've taken for granted.
The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be. Maybe we've lived a thousand lives before this one and in each of them we've found each other.
As I stared into your eyes, you asked me why I was about to cry, it's because I know you were going to say good-bye.
The young faces shown in these pictures represent times when our biggest worries were Barbie & Ken's wedding, GI Joe's missing arm, and why we had to eat vegetables at dinner…again. Looking at these pictures today, sometimes we, the seniors, wish we could go back to such carefree days. But at the same time moving on with our lives, making new memories, and gaining independence have become exciting realities that were once ideas that seemed so far away. Since 6th grade we have counted down the days until graduation. Now as the day approaches we are still anxious, but somewhat nervous. The faces in these pictures remind us of the people we once were and still are, the friends we have grown up with and also with whom we will graduate. Surviving the past 12 years wasn't easy, but in that time we had some of the best experiences of our lives. Those times are what made it worth while.
Saying good-bye to the times we've had is the same as saying hello to the times to come.
Missing someone gets easier every day. Because even though it is one day farther from the last time you saw each other, it is one day closer to the next time you will.
Saying good-bye isn't the hard part, it's what we have to leave behind that's hard.
You spend twelve years of your life trying to learn how to live, but every time you try to live in those twelve years you're told you're wrong. Then everyone you've grown to love is taken away, and scattered. That's what they should teach you. How to say good-bye.
To go away is to die a little, it is to die that which one loves: every where and always, one leaves behind part of oneself.
All good things must come to an end, but I wouldn't want it to end with any other people or be at any other place.
True friends don't say good-bye, they just take extended leaves of absences from each other.
Never say good-bye because good-bye means going away, and going away means forgetting. ~ Peter Pan
I've changed so much. I wish you knew how much you changed me. I wonder if I changed you, if your life is different because of me. Because mine's different. My God, you taught me so much, and from that I've grown. I guess that's what happens.
I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I never asked for it to begin. For that is the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their sunsets.
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or lifetimes is certain for those who are friends. ~ Richard Back
I want to remember how you've made me laugh, and sometimes cry, and I never want to forget how special and different you are. And how you touch my heart in a way that no one else could…
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can be together all the time.
Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you. ~ Cheers
There are no good-byes, where ever you'll be, you'll be in my heart. ~ Ghandi
Just because something ends doesn't mean it never should have been.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not. For that which you love in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is cleaner from the plain. ~ Kahlil Gibran
Sometimes when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.
Happy times come and go, but memories last forever.
I miss you when something really good happens, because you're the only one I want to share it with. I miss you when something is troubling me, because you're the only one who understands me so well. I miss you when I laugh and cry, because I know that you are the one that makes my laughter grow and my tears disappear. I miss you all the time, but I miss you the most when I lay awake at night and think about all the wonderful times that we spent with each other for those were some of the best and most memorable times of my life.
Time may take away a moment, but our memories can always bring it back.
True friends never grow apart, they only lose touch.
To meet, to know, to love, then to part is the sad tale of the human heart.
A good-bye is only painful if you know you'll never say hello again.
We laughed, we cried, but we'll never say good-bye.
You never know how great your friends are until you have to say good-bye and leave them.
There is one pain I often feel, which you'll never know. It is caused by the absence of you.
We cannot part with our friends, we cannot let our angels go.
I miss you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow.
Whoever said death was the hard part was wrong, letting go and realizing I will never feel your arms around me is even harder.
When you lose someone, you don't lose them all at once. You lose them in pieces over time. ~ Simon Birch
I have been heart broken. You can't breathe, your eyes are pouring a thousand tears a second and you can't foresee going on with love because you never want to feel this way again. But then you have to look in the mirror and say 'Shut up, eat some ice cream, be by yourself for a while and think about who you are and who you want to be - then, go out and find someone compatible.' A broken heart feels like the worst thing in the whole world, but it really helps you decide what you want and don't want. You learn a lot from a broken heart. ~ Jennifer Love Hewitt
Something good comes out of everything, I think…but a lot of times, it just won't out-weigh what you're losing…or leaving behind…
I just kept thinking about how this is my last night in my bed, in my house. Kinda like my last night as a kid. ~ Father of the Bride
I know I can't stay but it's like I don't want to leave. ~ Father of the Bride
Annie was all grown up and leaving us…and something inside began to hurt. ~ Father of the Bride
Of course you're gonna get your heart broken. And it isn't just gonna happen once, but a lot. That's just part of growing up, and it makes you stronger. Then you can handle the pain even better the next time. You may not get through it yourself, but your friends will help you to do it. And you'll be a stronger person because of it. Then, one day, someone will come along, and it will all pay off, and no one will ever break your heart again.
Here you are, and you're a hundred thousand miles away. ~ Barenaked Ladies
Always leave them laughing when you say good-bye.
Why is it that when you miss someone so much that your heart is ready to disintegrate, you hear the saddest song on the radio? ~ Pete & Pete
Since you've been gone... Every morning when I get out of bed, I look into the mirror hoping to find my smile. But as usual, no smile. I look and I look, but it's nowhere to be found. I keep my eyes peeled whereve I go, but still no luck. When I try to think just where it might be... I can't help but wonder.. if maybe you know where I left my smile, 'cause the last time I saw it, I was with you.
I'll remember you when I've forgotten the rest, you and me were true, you and me were the best.
Why can't we get all the people together in the world that we really like and then just stay together? I guess that wouldn't work. Someone would leave. Someone always leaves, then we have to say goodbye. I hate goodbyes. I know what I need- I need more hellos. ~Snoopy
We picked up our caps and gowns and all that senior stuff that's supposed to help us remember the good 'ole days, but some of the things that you remember most, can't be put on paper... That day finally came, and you sat there with all the friends you had made over the years... you looked out at your family and deep down you knew that this was a once in a life time moment. It was the last time in your life that all these people would be together in one place. Yeah, there would be reunions but there was always the chance that one person wouldn't make it there. You looked back on your time with these people and realized it was short lived and that it didn't seem as if there was enough time for everything that you wanted to accomplish... sports, activities, SAT, ACT, and all that good stuff. They called your name, your tassle got turned, and you got a piece of paper that said that you were smart. Then you said goodbye... maybe to your town, and that school and your friends. You know that you can go back to visit, but there will be strangers in the halls and it's not the same. It's different, you're different. But it's not the end. Infact, everything is just beginning.
..So if I have to leave you, I want you to know that in the end, it wasn't
because I stopped caring, it's because you stopped being a friend.
If there must be pain then let it be my pain for it will be easier to bear
then the pain I would feel In knowing that I had hurt you.
Remember me with smiles and laughs, for that's how I'll remember you. If you
can only remember me with sadness and tears, then don't remember me at all.
Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some
people are just passing through. It's like some people just come through
our
lives to bring us something: a gift, a blessing, a lesson we need to learn,
and that's why they're here. . . you'll have that gift forever. ~The Gift
You were always there when I needed you, never left my side, always there to
lean on, and dry the tears I cried. I could always talk to you, you never
seemed to mind, your voice so honest and gentle, your words so honest and
kind, I thought I'd never meet someone, as special as you are, you're my
best
friend in the whole wide world, you're my shooting star.
Never say I love you, if you don't really care- Never talk about feelings if
they aren't really there- Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart-
Never say you're going to if you don't plan to start- Never look me in the
eye if all you do is lie- Never say hello if you really mean goodbye.
Time goes by so fast, people go in and out of your life. You must never
miss the opportunity to tell these people how much they mean to you ~
Cheers
Remembers the trees, Remember the grass, Remember me, The pain in the ass.
Perhaps you'd be a bit surprised how often, if you knew, a joke, a
song, a memory will make me think of you.
Don't want to leave,
but we both know
Sometimes its better to go
Somehow I know we'll meet again
Not sure quite where and I don't know just when
You're in my heart, so until then
Wanna smile, wanna cry
Saying Goodbye
~ Muppets Take Manhattan
Time was never right for us. I'll say goodbye for the two of us tonight
while you sleep. I'll kiss you softly
one last time and say good bye...
We laughed until we had to cry; we loved right down to our last
goodbye; we were the best. ~St. Elmo's
Fire
Try not to think about what might've been,
Cuz that was then, and we have taken different
roads.
We can't go back again. There's no use giving in.
There's no way to know what might've been. ~Little
Texas
Good-Bye is an easy word to say but try saying it
to a friend. If I never knew you, I'd be safe, but half as real,
never
knowing I could feel.~Pocahontas
Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am the autumn wind that blows,
And the diamond glints on the snow.
When you awaken in the
morning hush,
I am the sweep uplifting
rush...
of quiet birds circled in flight.
I am the star that shines in the night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I do not die.
~Native American killed
in World War II
Always remember the last thing you say to people each day. Because
what if it happens to be the last
thing you ever get to say to them ?
To the ones I have lost, I miss; the ones I have, I
love.
Today is the day we leave our past behind, today we say our last
goodbyes, memories in the back of my
mind, held close by until the day i die.
Goodbyes make you think, they make you realize what you've had, what
you've lost, and what you've
taken for granted.
Don't say goodbye, because it means forever. Say 'Nice knowing
you,' because it was.
Sometimes there is no next time, no second chance, no time out.
Sometimes it is now or never.

It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday
Boyz II Men
How do I say goodbye to what we had?
The good times that made us laugh
Outweigh the bad.
I thought we'd get to see forever
But forever's gone away
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
I don't know where this road
Is going to lead.
All I know is where we've been
And what we've been through.
If we get to see tomorrow
I hope it's worth all the wait
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.
And I'll take with me the memories
To be my sunshine after the rain
It's so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.

Memories
Elvis Presley
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine
Quiet thought come floating down
And settle softly to the ground
Like golden autumn leaves around my feet
I touched them and they burst apart with sweet memories,
Sweet memories
Of holding hands and red bouquets
And twilight trimmed in purple haze
And laughing eyes and simple ways
And quiet nights and gentle days with you
Memories, pressed between the pages of my mind
Memories, sweetened thru the ages just like wine,
Memories, memories, sweet memories

This is the Time
Billy Joel
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
They're tearing it down now
But it's just as well
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
So stay with me baby
I've got plans for you
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
And now I need the rest of you
Did you know that before you came into my life
It was some kind of miracle that I survived
Some day we will both look back
And have to laugh
We lived through a lifetime
And the aftermath
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
I know we've got to move somehow
But I don't want to lose you know
Sometimes it's so easy
To let a day
Slip on by
Without even seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back and so will I
And those will be the days you can never recall
And so we embrace again
Behind the dunes
This beach is cold
On winter afternoons
But holding you close is like holding the summer sun
I'm warm from the memory of days to come
This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
But we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you

Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)
Green Day
Another turning point, a fork stuck in the road
Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go
So make the best of this test and don't ask why
It's not a question, but a lesson learned in time
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
So take the photographs and still-frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good time
Tattoos of memories and dead skin on the trial
For what it's worth, it was worth all the while
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life
It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right
I hope you had the time of your life

(I've Had) The Time of My Life
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes
Now I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
and I owe it all to you
'Cause I've had the time of my life
and I owe it all to you
I've been waiting for so long
Now I've finally found someone
To stand by me
We saw the writing on the wall
As we felt this magical
Fantasy
Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it
Secretly
So we take each other's hand
'Cause we seem to understand
The urgency just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
CHORUS:
I've had the time of my life
No I never felt like this before
Yes I swear it's the truth
And I owe it all to you
With my body and soul
I want you more than you'll ever know
So we'll just let it go
Don't be afraid to lose control
Yes I know what's on your mind
When you say, "Stay with me tonight"
Just remember
You're the one thing
I can't get enough of
So I'll tell you something
This could be love because
CHORUS
I miss you so much it scares me cuz my heart gets so weak.. how can you take it so easily? Why aren't you missing me? ~TLC
The Farewell
Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you.
It was but yesterday we met in a dream.
You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a
tower in the sky.
But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn.
The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we
must part.
If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again
together and you shall sing to me a deeper song.
And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in
the sky.
~From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.
As we grow older things must change but they don't always have to end. Even though things are different now, you will always be my friend. ~Phyllis Lin
Alone in the world,
With a friend who is she.
I understand her,
She understands me.
We tell each other secrets,
We would tell no1 else.
But when she moved away,
I was alone by myself.
Who says distance
Can keep us apart?
No matter where we are,
She is in my heart.
She knows who I love,
I know what she thinks.
When we come together,
It's like we link.
No matter how far apart,
Or how far the distance.
I know she'll be there,
Always to listen.
I dont care how far,
We will be together.
In our minds and hearts,
We're BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.
Remember Me This Way
Jordan Hill
Every now and then, we find a special friend
Who never lets us down
Who understands it all, reaches out each time we fall,
You're the best friend that I've found.
I know you can't stay, but part of you will never ever go away-
Your heart will stay
I'll make a wish for you, and hope it will come true,
That life will just be kind, To such a gentle mind
And if you lose your way,
Think back on yesterday,
Remember me this way, oh, remember me this way.
I don't need eyes to see the love you bring to me
No matter where I go
And I know that you'll be there, forevermore a part of me,
you're everywhere
I'll always care
I'll make a wish for you, and hope it will come true
That life will just be kind, to such a gentle mind
And if you lose your way, think back on yesterday
Remember me this way, remember me this way
And I'll be right behind your shoulder,
watching you
I'll be standing by your side in all you do
And I won't ever leave, as long as you believe, you just believe
I'll make a wish for you, and hope it will come true,
That life will just be kind to such a gentle mind
And if you lose your way, think back on yesterday,
Remember me this way...
Remember me this way...
This way...
"Prom Theme" by Fountains of Wayne:
Here we are at last
The moment soon will pass
We'll go our separate ways
We'll vanish in the haze
We'll never be the same
We'll forget each other's names
We'll grow old and lose our hair
It's all downhill from there
But tonight we'll reach for the stars
We'll rent expensive cars
And dream our dreams
Of a perfect night
And we'll sing our prom theme
Here we are at last
We're running out of gas
The air is getting thick
The girls are feeling sick
We'll pass out on the beach
Our keys just out of reach
And soon we'll say goodbye
then we'll work until we die
But tonight we feel like we're stars
We'll play our air guitars
Cause we're eighteen
It's a perfect night
To sing our prom theme
The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right next to them, knowingyou can't have them. ~(Dawson's Creek, I think)
It's time to let you go. It's time to say good-bye. No more excuses, no more
tears to cry. There's been so many changes. I've been so confused. All along you were the one. All the time I never knew. I want you to be happy. You're
my best friend. But it's so hard to let you go now, with all that could have been. I'll always have the memories. She'll always have you. Fate has a way
of changing just when you don't want it to. Throw away the chains. Let love fly away. Till love comes again...I'll be okay." -Amanda Marshall (My Best Friends Wedding)
We all take diffrent paths in life, but no matter where we go, we take a little bit of eachother... everywhere. ~Tim McGraw's Cd
