goodbye kiss

Smooch before leaving

A goodbye kiss is a kiss given at parting—at the door, the airport, the train station.

It marks the moment of separation between people who care for each other: She gave him a quick goodbye kiss before heading to work.

The gesture ranges from perfunctory peck to lingering farewell depending on the relationship and circumstances.
