I think it's sad how much the meaning of goodbyes have gotten diluted from overuse. Things like "have a good day/night," are thrown around so much and so casually that they have lost the emotion that should be attached to them. I don't like to think that when people say those things that they are just empty filler to dull the awkwardness of saying goodbye. If I don't want to "talk to you soon," I won't say that. If I will not in fact miss someone after they are out of my sight, I won't lead them on with a hollow farewell.
If I say "have a good night," I genuinely do hope that the person to which I am speaking has a good night.
My favorite goodbye is "sweet dreams," it might sound kind of sappy, but I think it's the best possible thing you can wish for a person, after all what's better than waking up happy from a good dream?
So next time I say goodbye to you, know that I meant what I said, and I said what I meant
