“See you tomorrow
Take care
Bye!”
How cold a parting would it be had I just said ”BYE!”
“Ok dear.
BBye
Love you
Byeee!”
How less romantic, less in love would she sound if she just uttered-BYE
What does Bye mean to any of us?
An obligation, a necessary expression of End!
They say it’s a nice farewell remark!
I believe it will never be nice by itself.
It needs an addition of expression or emotion.
The angry wife leaving the house and saying BYE
The lovers parting forever saying BYE
The kid turns to his father while standing at the school gate and says BYE
All these and many more situation make Bye a lonely word. A word that simply asks to make it more meaningful.
And yet we keep using it again and again to end things for us. It ends secret meetings, weak relationships, evening walks, internet chats, even lives, sometimes making it easier for the parting soul who stands at the doorstep ready to leave but short of words. Sometimes I feel sorry for It, not because its monotonous, but because it has to perform its infallible duty to mean nothing else, not even a slight deviation from its only meaning, i.e. to end.

Loved it...!! Though i never.. loved the Bye word..!!
BBye is a better remark.. more affectionate....
but yes i loved what you wrote.. Standing at the hostel gate I said BYE. But it didn't end there. I had memories. I remembered it each day of the 90 I stayed there before I went home again. Well I was a kid.
And then there was another bye when I was a little big kid and I was leaving the hostel. I had to say BYE to all my friends who had waited for me at the gate. And it was awful. Because there were no 90 days. Still courageous hopes hold promise. I am waiting.
Nice blog dude. Just don't blog without pictures. You won't get marks. Be an architect.
