Don't say goodbye. Ever. Even if it is time for a goodbye, and you know it

I was seven years old when I saw Roman Holiday (1953) by William Wyler for the first time and I  immediately decided that saying goodbye to someone just sucks.
"Why do we have to say goodbye?" I asked myself.

Almost thirty years after seeing the movie for the first time, I still have no answer. Not a good one, at least. Saying goodbye to someone important in my life still sucks.

Even if I know that it is just normal.
Even if it is the best thing to do.
Even if life goes on and we will be happy anyway.

Saying goodbye is too dramatic. Too painful. Too conclusive.
"See you later" sounds better, that's all.
