“I hate the sound of the world outside. Because everybody here can't wait to come and say goodbye...”

“But what is it that makes a person want to stay here on this earth anyway, and go on suffering the most awful pain just for the sake of getting to stay? I used to think it was because people fear death. But now I think it is because people can't bear saying goodbye.”

“Don't hate me because I can't remember some person immediately. Especially when they look like everybody else, and talk and dress and act like everybody else.”

“I can't cry..not yet. I can't say goodbye..not yet. I can't lose you..not yet.”

“The final picture in the album was of Aunt Lovey and Uncle Stash, their black-and-white wedding photo. I hated that their picture came last, because it felt like they were saying goodbye.”

“Here comes goodbye, here comes the last timeHere comes the start of every sleepless nightThe first of every tear Im gonna cryHere comes the pain, Here comes me wishing things had never changedAnd she was right here in my arms tonight, but here comes goodbye”
