It' been a pleasure vs It was a pleasure

[ostap77]

When you top off a conversation and you are about to leave

"It's been a pleasure talking to you"( you are still there and it still is because you keep talking)

What I'm trying to ask if it's possible to say:

"It was a pleasure talking to you" (I guess it might sound kind of weird because you are still there and the way I take it the Past Simplr refers to the past not present)
