How do you say goodbye to a friend when you know that you will never see them again?

I have a friend that I work with that is being relocated. I know that after this week I will never get to see him again He has always been a very close friend, someone who I could share my darkest secrets with and vice versa. I want to let him know that I care about him, and I think it is because in some ways I have fallen in love with him. I don't want to regret not saying goodbye, but, how can I express to him how much he means to me as a friend and so much more than a friend? Can someone please help me with my dilema??

Update:

He is in the military, and I am just a civilian working for the military. I cannot go with him. He was the first person to make me feel welcome when I began working for the company and has been there for me through thick and thin.

    aaawww im so sorry. share everything u wanted to ever share with them now..that is all u can do

  • You do not have to say Goodbye just because he is being relocated. Tell him how you feel and that you want to keep in contact with him.

    Its not the end of the world! I am sure he will appreciate that you want to stay in contact.

    And when and if the time comes you can meet again. Believe in Your Dream and Your Dreams will come True!

    I wish you and your Friend all the Best.

    I don't know how old you are and what is really going on.

    But if you have a chance now, do talk to him or better than that: send him an email and tell him how you feel about him.

    Openess has been always the best thing to do ever. If you have t take a chance, run the risk.

    Good luck.

    Ok why dont you just tell him how u feel..and may i suggest that you tell him you like him more than a friend? Why let him go without letting him know? You never know just because hes reloccating doesnt mean you cant go with him right???? If yall have feelings for eachother anything is possible!!!!! Dont let him get away from you. you might be sorry one day if you do. you and him might be able to work things out to be together. Tell him everything please. Make something work between you and him.

    Very hard! But simple. I don't think that this is simple for you to do but make the first move. Get some time alone with him, and when it is the right time hug him and say 'I love you' Easy enough? You'll thank me later. It was easy for my friend to do. I told her to do the exact thing, and it worked. Like it was supposed to. Well I hope this is useful enough. Good Luck.

    These days, very easily. Friends are an extinct species. We tend to confer the term even on ' Frenemies '. An acquaintance isn't a friend. I don't know about you and your friend or how close you are. I can only speak from my own vantage point. I can safely say I don't have a friend on the planet, and it doesn't worry or make me dismay. It is to be expected.

    You should write him a letter expressing how much he means to you and why, then put it in a sentimental card. Buy a gift that only he and you would understand and appreciate (maybe something from a shared experience). Good luck!

    because of the fact which you do unlike one yet another giving him a kiss on the cheek is greater helpful. And are you specific theres no way you could shop touch? If not possibly you should grant him a modern-day. woman male him bear in mind you!!

    Yeah, write a letter. But make sure it's in your hand writting. Tell him to open it later. Write everything on it, how you feel about him and everything. You never know he might come back!!!

    If he is attached to someone else, let him be, if he isn't, and you're not, go for it girl! take him out for a goodbye dinner and let him know of your feelings, what have you got to lose? good luck.
