• Gather the stars if you wish it so Gather the songs and keep them. Gather the faces of women. Gather for keeping years and years. And then... Loosen your hands, let go and say good-bye. Let the stars and songs go. Let the faces and years go. Loosen your hands and say good-bye.

• I think the way I feel when I look at Evan comes from her. In pictures taken the day she married my dad, she was reckless, laughing, spinning around in circles. She looked like her whole world was him. She looked a kind of happy I can't even imagine. I don't want that. I don't want to be like that. I don' want to feel the way she did because I know what happens when you do. You love with your whole heart, with everything, and you wake up one morning and kiss someone good-bye the way you always do except you mean it as good-bye forever.

  Elizabeth Scott

• I hid my love when young till I
  Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly;
  I hid my life to my despite
  Till I could not bear to look at light:
  I dare not gaze upon her face
  But left her memory in each place;
  Where'er I saw a wild flower lie
  I kissed and bade my love good-bye.

  John Clare

• And if she asks you why you can tell her that I told you
  That I'm tired of Castles in the Air
  I've got a dream I want the world to share in castle walls
  Just leave me to despair
  Hills of forest green where the mountains touch the sky
  A dream come true, I'll live there 'til I die
  I'm asking you, to say my last good-bye
  The love we knew, ain't worth another try

  Don McLean

• If I should stay
  I would only be in your way
  So I'll go, but I know
  I'll think of you each step of the way
  And I will always love you
  I will always love you
  Bitter sweet Memories
  That's all I am taking with me
  Good-bye. Please don't cry
  We both know that I'm not
  What you need
  But I will always love you
  I will always love you.

• Love was like rain: it turned into ice, or it disappeared. Now you saw it, now you couldn't find it no matter how hard you might search. Love evaporated; obsession was realer; it hurt, like a pin in your bottom, a stone in your shoe. It didn't go away in the blink of an eye. A morning phone call filled with regret. A letter that said, Dear you, good-bye from me. Obsession tasted like something familiar. Something you'd known your whole life. It settled and lurked; it stayed with you.

• So it ends as I guessed it would,' his thoughts said, even as it fluttered away; and it laughed a little within him ere it fled, almost gay it seemed to be casting off all doubt and care and fear. And even as it winged away into forgetfulness it heard voices, and they seemed to be crying in some forgotten world far above: 'The eagles are coming! The eagles are coming!' For one moment more Pippin's thought hovered. "Bilbo! But no! That came in his tale, long long ago. This is my tale, and it ended now. Good-bye!' And his thought fled far away and his eyes saw no more.

  J. R. R. Tolkien
