There are ways to say goodbye, ways that impart the depth of love felt, but saying goodbye to one you don't really want to say goodbye to can never be right no matter how much you try to convince them. Or yourself. Some love may not be meant to be, and may be impossible to keep if those mountains are so high, but those chains that can't be untied will hold you within that love. her eyes would be filled with sorrow; by saying that's no way to say goodbye it acknowledges her pain but also relegates it to a lost love status. That is potent,yes, and speaks more of pushing her love away. That's no way to say goodbye.
