If you thought it was the last time you would see someone, would you do anything differently? Would you say things you wouldn't normally say? Or would you carry on as if everything was normal, and it was just an ordinary day?
I'm never good at goodbyes, not even au revoirs - I'm so concerned I'll get over-emotional that I tend to end up rushing off without really leaving properly. And I never look back: you mustn't. Who would want to turn into a pillar of salt? Or even worse, a person with regrets, who questions their decisions and keeps turning round to contemplate the roads not taken.
I reckon it's best to say the things you've got to say at the time they should be said, in the instant they come into your head (or your heart, or whichever part of the anatomy is running the show at any given juncture). No point in storing things up for a right moment that might never come - as soon as you think something and don't say it, you've probably already missed the right moment.
Don't wait - in this stage of our lives, there are too many reminders that it's later than you think.
