Is Are both correct? Yes.
The first means that they haven't gone yet.

I wanted to say goodbye to you.

That could be an example of the past tense used as a distancing (politeness) form, as in.

I hope I'm not disturbing you, but I wanted to say goodbye to you before you left, (They have not left yet.)
