How was the moment when you/he/she left?

[Haley53]

What did you think and fell when you/he/she left?
I'm not even sure I could put it into words. Everything that morning was completely surreal. I was running around doing a last minute scout of the house, putting away things that I'd needed that morning (toothpaste, toothbrush, etc.), and he was scrambling around behind me trying to coerce me into kisses and hugs. I knew if I did that, I'd fall apart. Once we got into the taxi, I don't think either of us said a word, and we said even less at the actual airport. :P It honestly felt like an entire part of me was being ripped away from me, like I had this perfect, most precious thing and this series of moments that I always knew had to come to an end but it's like I didn't expect that it actually would until it was happening. I think going through the security line to the point I could no longer see him even if I turned around was perhaps the worst feeling in the matters of the heart that I have ever experienced, because that was when all the surrealism of the morning came crashing down into the bitter reality that I was going home without him.

How was the last kiss?
Bitter and salty, yet reserved. :P We're both very modest when it comes to PDA so they were mostly gentle pecks. We had one prolonged kiss but I'd say we spent more time crushing the life out of each other and staring into each other's tearful gazes than kissing.

Did you cry...?
We both sobbed the night before, and both of us barely managed to hold it together at the airport. He lost it as soon as he got home, said he crawled into bed, turned on some music, and cried, and I had to hold it together until I was home and in my own bed. I tried to find solitude in the airport but it seemed crowds of people followed me wherever.

Can you remember their last words?
Well, other than "bye" and "I love you," it would probably have to be the fact I was poking fun at him for bringing tissues to the airport/being so prepared and he made a comment about how he thought we might need them. :P

Leaving is always the saddest part of the trip. That feeling never changes. We are always quiet and snuggling on the ride to the airport. We chat lightly when I get my boarding pass and check my bag. Then we either get a bite or just go right to security depending on how much time we have. The first 2 times I went, I was an emotional wreck. So much crying. This last time was different, but not bad different. This time we did the normal routine, but we stood outside of security holding each other making jokes and carrying on like we would see each other tomorrow. I think this good bye meant a lot, because of everything that had come before it. Now i didn't say I didn't cry bc once I left him and made it to my gate i sunk down onto the floor and started to cry a little. Then as the plane took off the waterworks hit me like crazy and my hood went up so no one could see. I hate the good bye!

He said he held it together until he got home, then lost it. Least I wasn't the only one who cried after we parted ways.

I don't want to think about it it was horrible...

It was a classic goodbye, we hold each other, didn't say much... cried!! I walked towards customs.. was standing in line... looked back.. waved... cried, cried and cried some more. The customs guy gave me a tissue Then I cried the whooooooooooooooooole flight back to Holland... And then, when I saw my mom waiting for me... And I just stopped crying..

Hahaha true! I can still see him standing there.. crying as well

When I saw him after three years, now that was amazing! He was standing like 150 feet away, he saw me... started running with the biggest smile on his face... then he wrapped his arms around me... picked me up.. hold me up in the air... put me down... and didn't let go for a couple of minutes... I rather think about that moment!!

aaawe I can imagine this soo good! I'm sooo excited to see my SO this summer!

My SO leaving was the most devastating thing ive ever had to deal with next to suicides/deaths of my high school friends. I cried for hours... didn't smile for anything... I was torn. And for a while we almost broke up because we didn't want to go back to skyping, we just wanted each other.

Last time was pretty decent. We were so nervous about letting go of each other that we actually laughed at people who are at the airport (sounds so stupid and childish, but I really think it was all nerves). And when the moment came we just had this awkward kiss hug moment like we will going to see each other ( in person) tomorrow. It was the moment I saw him going up the escalator that I wanted to scream after him, hug him and don't let him go. And as I was with my dad, I just got into the car put the radio on and didn't speak a word for 2 hours until we got home. After that is always 2 -3 days depression time.

Previous time was almost same, but he was sending me and he was texting me from the main area and I got tears in my eyes but I decided I can't cry in front of all these people! So I didn't. He said he went to the car, and cry for a few minutes and go home. :S

First time was the worse. It was right after we got together then, and there we were a group of 30 people, all were looking at us (we were the attraction couple that happened there, long story) they were all sobbing, because he took me in his hands and lift me up and didn't want to put me down. We were all smiles, and the second the car went I was bursting into tears, everybody were looking at me and didn't know what to say. And later he told me that the minute he got into the car he was barely containing himself of crying. The driver asked him "So when is the wedding" ha! He told me that was the moment he wanted to scream, get of car and go back to me..... ahhhhh..... I hate saying goodbye! I hate it!

It was a 2 month stay I was with him the first time we met and I was the one having to leave. The night before was actually when I realized I'd be leaving the very next night ( I had gotten my bus ticket date confused ) and that it would be our last night sleeping beside each other in bed, needless to say I balled my eyes out while he held me. I could never forget the broken look in his eyes when I said to him that it was our last night. Right before I left we just sat and listened to music together for a long while, it was a really quiet day, the air was charged with solemnity. I took a lock of his hair and gave him one of mine, which smelled of him. He wrote me a special letter and hid it in my backpack and I found it later that night and cried on the bus, it was so sweet of him, saying to me that all his love was going with me. When the cab came to take me to the bus depot we held hands as he carried my bags down the long driveway. I'll never forget the way we squeezed each other's hands as if to say " I won't ever let go, I'm here for you " We kissed and hugged for the longest time and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do to pry myself away from him, he wouldn't let go. And though neither of us were crying in that moment, we could tell we were holding it back to stay strong for each other. Finally we couldn't stop nuzzling and staring at each other, I felt I'd be late if I didn't go right then and there, so I kinda shoved him from me, I intended it to be gentle but it wasn't. He stumbled back and I felt like the worst girlfriend ever for doing that, I just got in the cab and barely spoke on the way. I didn't let myself cry until I got on the bus and went to an empty seat at the very back and sobbed alone. The three day trip back home was horrible, I've never felt so numb in my life, like I was leaving my world behind. The worst part was waking up thinking I was still in bed with him, then as I came to my senses I realized I was still on the bus...heading far away from him.... * sigh *

He dropped me off back at my house at midnight after our date together, promising me he would come back at 5am to officially say goodbye to me. True to his word, he was at my house at 5am, with a bag of cake-pops for my mom and I, a bag full of orange juice, monsters, chips, and gummi bears for my trip back to school, and a gift I couldn't open until I got to my apartment. He helped me with my bags, and we just sat in my car as it rained outside. I honestly did not want to bring up the fact that the next time I would see him would be two months from now, so I made chitchat of other things to take my mind off the fact that this was my last moment with him. When I talk too much, he silences me with a kiss, because I would just keep talking and talking and talking, haha! We smooched for a very long time, and then he told me I should probably head off, so he pecked me one last time, and we drove off our separate ways...It's hard, I wish had a whole hour and then some left to spend with him, just being in his presence I'm at peace, lol.

My SO returned to his work placement in Thailand a couple of days ago. I made the decision to go to the airport with him and his mum, thinking that doing that would be better than just sitting at home waiting. Plus it gave us a couple of extra hours together
The car journey and check-in were fine, we both felt OK and we were laughing and cuddling the whole time. We had something to eat and drink and then the time came to say goodbye at the security gate. That was when the reality of the situation hit us and we both burst into tears We were hugging so tightly and I could tell he was finding it very difficult to walk away...he kept coming back for one last kiss. I could barely watch him go. In the car ride home I had stopped crying but it felt as though my heart had been ripped out. Goodbyes never get any easier
