Well for me goodbye is like saying "i'll see you again if im ready to hold your hand and if you're ready to hold mine" and letting go is like saying..."i'll miss your hand..i realized its not mine to hold and i will never hold it again"..I dont know how to explain it well but for me thats about it...there will still time for someone who said goodbye because we know theres still a chance to be together but if you let go someone its like your giving up because you know its not fair to let him stay knowing that he cant be happy with you anymore...Agree?Can someone tell teh difference of goodbye and letting go?

I think you explained that perfectly actually. It is quite a difficult one to tell the difference between, because I think we all have our own ideas. But you are right, because for me if I was to let go of someone, then I would be letting go and giving up with trying to make things right for us both, and knowing that perhaps he is not into us as much as he was before. Saying goodbye, could leave the book open, with giving freedom to the possibility of some kind of re-kindled romance.

hi,
they are both sad,but of course they have a difference,saying goodbye is a word that use because we need to go far or come back to the place where we are and we could back anytime we want,but letting go is the word that will cut the feeling for that person and will never come back it to your life.
