stuck with goodbyes

Hey readers,
Welcome to our final Tuesday's Takeaways post of the semester! 
Appropriately, our Top Quotes fit the theme of goodbyes.

• Takeaway Trivia of the week: What is the etymology of the word goodbye?

Meanwhile...

"You are what makes me real
And as much as
We need to say
Goodbye
I just Can’t
​Yet"
-Diana Harman, Goodbye My Lonely 

"Our lives equally go by so fast
And yet I’ll never be able to reach you again.
So
Here lies my unspoken goodbye
To you."
-Alyna Valderrama, Final Words 
​
"I chased after him
But he had already said goodbye
I clung to him
But he was already leaving"
-Tess Stofko, Coy or Koi 

"Consider this a goodbye.
My last words to you.
The final chapter in our journey together."
-Tonsor Mal, Be Patient

"My heart is shattered and I think of you;
What I wouldn’t give to see you one last time.
There was no chance to say goodbye."
-Sara Ahisar, A Chance To Say Goodbye

"And when we say goodbye
your taste lingers,
on our lips
in our noses
and stains the lines of our hands" 
-Joshua Avin, My Dad and Modest Mouse 

"Looking into each other’s eyes for the last time beneath the train tracks lies every I love you ever uttered"
-Jerry Salem, A Not So Swift Love Story

"So now I’m saying goodbye. I’m finishing the novel of you and turning your final pages. Onto a new book, a new genre. Back on the shelf, with the rest of the tales as old as time. But this book, your story— maybe I’d even call it our story, was a good one."
-Emily Shrem, Goodbye For Now

"Excuse me, it is time to say your final goodbyes."
-Gina Rivieccio, The Invasion

And now...
'Goodbye' stems from the phrase 'god be with ye' contracted to 'godbwye' and eventually transformed into 'goodbye'.
