One kind kiss before we part,
Drop a tear, and bid adieu;
Though we sever, my fond heart
Till we meet shall pant for you.
Robert Dodsley
As the presence of those we love is as a double life, so absence, in its anxious longing and sense of vacancy, is as a foretaste of death.
Anna Brownell Jameson
Ye flowers that drop, forsaken by the spring,
Ye birds that, left by summer, cease to sing,
Ye trees that fade, when Autumn heats remove,
Say, is not absence death to those who love?
Alexander Pope
A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.
Author Unknown
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again after moments or a lifetime is certain for those who are friends.
Richard Bach
Ever absent, ever near;
Still I see thee, still I hear;
Yet I cannot reach thee, dear!
Francis Kazinczy
Missing you could turn from pain to pleasure, if I knew you were missing me too.
Author Unknown
Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and fans a fire.
Francois Duc de la Rochefoucauld
The eternal quest of the individual human being is to shatter his loneliness.
Norman Cousins
It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise. This is true of men as of dogs.
Eric Hoffer
I think we dream so we don't have to be apart so long. If we're in each other's dreams, we can play together all night.
Bill Watterson
