its hard when you have to say goodbye to someone you love. Not because you want to, but you have to. You have so many reasons to stay, and so many reasons to go. And yet, it doesnt balance out anymore. In fact, it seems that you have more reasons to go... and even though you still love the person, you have no choice but to say goodbye. But how do you say goodbye to the person you love? Its never easy and heartbreaking... And even though your mind says its the right thing to do, your heart will always miss that person. I just heard the song, I Love You, Goodbye by Celine Dion.. And thought of all the people in the world who are saying goodbye to the people they love right now. its a depressing thought, and that's probably the reason why I wrote this. Saying goodbye is inevitable but just like what they say, every beginning has an end. But hey! life's goes on... every goodbye, also comes another Hello.

If the relationship is too much to bear like if the other person is abusive or the other person is dying and that person doesn't want his/her partner to see him/her suffer, things like that. Then it's better to say goodbye while the feeling is still there. It really hurts but I guess it's much better than leaving that person who is abusive and losing your respect to that person or watching your partner get hurt when he/she sees you dying that will just add to your suffering. I cannot think of a better way to say goodbye but in a form of a letter since I am not a confrontational person and yes that is so true! For every goodbye, also comes another hello. We just have to bear the pain when saying goodbye, time will just heal all wounds.

In my case we both love each other and that we were happy, but fate wont allow us, some things that we have to fix first. We will only be truly happy if people around us are also happy. I wish time will come we'll cross our roads again. And i hope by then we are both free to love each other.

Oh, loving the right person at the wrong time. If you're destined to be together and meant to be, then you're meant to be. Keep the faith!

I love the person who i trusted the most. At first he is so kind,helpful and understanding. Everywhere i go he was always there accompany me. Everyday he always texted me and say that he loves me. He promised me that he will help me always. As the days past he is jealous with my friend who always sat near me. I apologized him. Still things go wrong. I apologized him repeatedly. The next month i saw him with someone else and it was really broke my heart. I confronted him and asked him if they have relationship but he said that they are just friends. I hate him and i don't want to see him. Maybe he need someone better than me,the one who could him everything, the one who makes him happy. I decided to say him I LOVE YOU GOODBYE because i am not worth for him and maybe he need someone better than me, although it's so hard in my part. It was a very painful in my part to let him go. I almost got sleepless night and my tears are clouding up my eyes. I love him really but things are all complicated both parties. Everyday we are just hurting each other. I can't avoid to hurt him because of some reasons. I know he still jealous if he saw me with someone else. Honestly i still have feelings to him and i am waiting him to say "can you be my gf again?"

I should ask that every end has a new beginning. Well this is a sad truth that happens to each in every one of us, whether your bf or your family or friends. There is always an end to everything. But in every sad ending, lessons are learned and new challenges are faced.

Sometimes, saying goodbye is really the best solution. Forcing yourself to do something you don't like or to be with someone that is not your type is not good at all. A short sadness is always far greater than a lifetime of sadness. Cheers!

indeed very true.. Saying goodbye to someone so dear to you is just so painful (cuts like a knife).. But it is your personal choice, your decision.. I admire those people who can do this because i know that it takes a lot of courage to let go of the person you love. However, when you decide to get that person back to you, that is what we called true and unconditional love... I also felt sorry for the person being left. Both parties are in pain. But then, there happiness is at stake.. :(.. But this is life.. This is part of growing up and this is the best teacher of becoming a better person. Falling in love is just a cycle.. When you love, you get hurt.. when you're hurt, you learn.. and when you learn, you simply love again..

hello cyatibarra! i love you, goodbye by Celine Dion is perhaps the second most meaningful song to me in my lifetime. why? there was a time that i came to a decision after hearing that song. I was so in love with this guy, he loved me too. we were quite happy but then, i have learned something that made me having second thoughts. i know i should have talked it out with him first, but i know he would only object, since he was as obsessed with me as i do him. The catch was, he had a wife and two kids, whom he had left before we even met. However, his wife was imploring him to go back to her for the sake of the kids. I love the guy, but i cannot just insist on my happiness when i know that someone is suffering. I know too that he loved his kids so much, its just that he and his wife were living with her parents then and it added to their conflict. When the wife was imploring him to go back, she had already started to leave separately from her parents. For a time, he went back to them, and then came back to me, and so on and so forth. it was a painful time for me, we both love each other but i know i won't be able to give the kind of love he really needs. i can't imagine my life with someone who would be longing for another life, a life that he would leave because of me, and i cannot imagine that one day his kids would accuse me of stealing their father from them. and so, i said goodbye. it was hard, since he was the most caring man. and i could not find fault with his caring and loving ways with me. but i find fault with him when there is none, so that he would get angry with me and finally stay away from me. he was hurt by my actions, but my love prevailed and i told him that i was doing it for him. i had to let him go. he did'nt want to but what could he do? we're miles away from each other then. the most difficult thing to do is to say goodbye to someone you love very much.

I know it hard to let go someone we love and it hurt us so much but that's life we need to accept and try to move on and continue to search the right one and worthy for our love. Just Pray and continue loving although it hurt us but love can give us happiness someday

While im writing this, im listening to that song by Celine Dion (lol)--- and it brought me back to the tiem when i said goodbye to someone so dear to me. It takes lots of courage and strength to say goodbye to someone so nice to you, who had pure intentions and treated you his queen. Its painful to bid farewell when your heart is saying otherwise. But you have to do it than add more hurt to others around you...and so life goes on...the question now is, how is he going on?I'm still aching its seemed :(.

Sometimes letting go is the best way to moving on.Goodbye is not forever, somewhere down the road, maybe your path may cross again. When you say goodbye, be sure that you mean it, for the better and not for the worst. Acceptance is mere fact of moving on,.

you're right!!!! one chapter ends but life must go on! you can still share LOVE in another way not just by being a lover to that somebody, though we think that it's more sweeter but come to think of it...Is it not more sweet if you love a person despite him refusing to accept it? love is more felt real when acted.

this happened to me today :( i loved this guy much but he kept hurting and hurting and always didnt trust me and in arguements always ended by turning his back to me so i just said bye to him today. was hard for me, i cried but nothing else i can do. since many days already i tried to understand him, i was sweet to him and he continued just caring for what he thinks :( so i decided to say bye. i never give up on love unless i see that is really impossible to be happy with the person. and with him if he didnt change it would be. if he really cares for me he will say sorry and we can be friends, but if he doesnt i wont. im tired of being always me saying sorry and trying to have a conversation. is like people say if a boy loves you he finds you dont need you find him :) so i will just wait the right guy finds me^^ sorry if you had to also say bye to someone but cheer up^^ we all have someone for us^^ and before that we always meet wrong guys :)
