[Graduation] Moving one-line messages to add to a group card. Heartfelt messages (1–10)
I’ll miss you when you leave, but I’m looking forward to the day we meet again.
A message board is all about conveying your feelings as fully as possible in just a few words.
With that in mind, here’s a phrase to include in a message for a senior you admire.
“I miss you when you’re not around.
I want to see you again.” Who wouldn’t be happy to hear that? It shows you’ve built a good relationship and that you’re fond of them, and it will surely make them glad and warm their heart.
When you give a message board, try writing these words that wish for a reunion.
After graduation, you just might get to see your senior again.
The days I spent with you are the treasures of my life.
I think there are many unforgettable moments in school life.
Among them, there’s probably at least one person who made you think, “I could keep going, and I had fun because this person was there.” These are words I hope you’ll give to that special friend or partner.
They will convey just how important that person was to you, and at the same time, they’ll feel the message that you will never forget.
Instead of leaving the time we spent together as just memories, turning them into treasures—there’s nothing more wonderful than that.
Please continue to do your best in your own way, just like the senior you are.
Living true to yourself isn’t easy, is it? When you start working or begin attending a new school and find yourself in a new community, it’s easy to lose sight of who you are.
In moments like that, seeing the words “Stay true to yourself and do your best,” given by a junior, can give you the strength to reconnect with yourself.
Why not send it as a warm cheer from a junior to a senior? As time passes, they’ll come to feel the weight of these words even more.

I want to be like you, senpai!
Being admired by your juniors is such a wonderful feeling as a senior, isn’t it? These words express that feeling straightforwardly.
Hearing something that makes you feel as if all your hard work so far and the way you’ve treated your juniors are being fully affirmed is sure to make your heart swell.
Words like these will inspire you to keep working hard on many things even after graduation, so you can live up to the expectations of the juniors who say them.
If you’re a junior who has strong admiration for your senior, be sure to add this sentence.
No one is cooler than you, charging straight down your own path! Keep believing in yourself and walking forward.
How about offering these words, with respect, to a friend who is set on forging straight ahead on their own path after graduation? We don’t often praise our friends face-to-face, but when you really want to cheer them on, the best thing is to honestly compliment what’s great about them.
Saying things like, “I’ve always respected you,” “I’ve always thought you were cool,” and “So keep charging ahead just as you are,” will give the recipient tremendous courage and move them deeply.
Let’s stay close until we’re little old grannies.
Here are the perfect words to dedicate to a friend you want to stay close with no matter what kind of life you lead or how much time passes.
You can also change “grandma” to “grandpa.” It’s moving to think that your bond doesn’t end when your school days are over—you want to stay friends forever after that, too.
Feelings won’t be conveyed unless you put them into words, so if there’s someone you truly want to stay close to forever, try expressing your feelings clearly with words like these.
You can do it! As your best friend, I guarantee your future!
A heartfelt message from a best friend moves you every time you read it, doesn’t it? Just like these words, having someone believe in your future and cheer you on makes your heart swell.
When graduating and stepping into the next chapter, everyone feels a mix of excitement and anxiety.
But if you receive words like these from a best friend, it feels as if they’re always by your side rooting for you, and you feel like you can do your best.
Send these words to that precious best friend whose future you truly want to support.
