Do we ever really say good-bye?
Emptying our mind of thoughts,
memories and emotion?
We miss the talk, the touch
and the person
but we never truly say good-bye.

This is so true. In our memories, there can never be a goodbye...
Here is mine:
guise of a smile
saying goodbye is never easy, ans no where near as final as it is made out to be...nice 160 monkey
my 160
Dammmit, Monkey Man. Everyone is sounding like ME--except in Sooooooo much better phrasing and word-choice
I'm still smelling Brian's dirty socks....grin!
Goodbye! There, I said it.
You're right, I was still thinking of you even after I said it.
Then just say...Au Revoir!!
I Played Today
Oops, bad link: try this one.
It's just an expression.. Memories stay with us like some vividly captured snapshots! Quite for the same reason I don't use the expression in my daily life.. I keep it to "See you"
Very insightful 160..

Selective amnesia might be nice. Have you read Jill Price's memoir? She's a woman with perfect autobiographical recall. Intriguing, but not a condition I'd like to have.
Here's my 160
you're right. I have the memories.
A lovely 160, MM. For some reason, I'm thinking about the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (at least I think that's the right name?) right now.
I'm in on the 160 this week, too. Mine is Here.
I think there were quite a few out there thinking yesterday might have been the real goodbye! This is great!!!!
i so agree to this ! and totally relate to this too !!

Oh, this is lovely!
It's a comforting thought.
Mine is up
You're getting all emotional on me Monkey... *sniff* NO I AM NOT CRYING. I just have something in my eye...
No, we never really ever say goodbye--that's so true, Monkey Man. Lovely 160--very tender.
Here's mine today: http://bodhirose.wordpress.com/2011/05/22/baby-cardinal/
Hard to say goodbye--I've said it,and said it a lot, but as you say, there's always something left in the corner of the mind.
Beautiful and so true.

thanks, dani
I agree. They are always with us.
Sentimental, warm piece.
Here's mine.
a permanent good bye is a mythical creature...
Here is mine.
I know already that it is wrong because I only counted the characters not the spaces as well. Please forgive.

Just: "Adieu"- at one point in H.S.
" Later" pronounced laytar... Thanks.
Love this! I've never thought of "good-bye" this way but it's so true. As long as you continue to hold someone in your heart, they can never really be gone.
Nope. We never do.
Love and good-bye are mutually exclusive. Indeed.
So true! .
