goodbye my almost lover..

You fingertips against my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images

You sang me spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images

And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you’d never ever forget these images, no

I never want to see you unhappy
I thought you’d want the same for me

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning
Without you on my mind
So you’re gone and I’m haunted
And I bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy for you
To walk right in and out of my life?

Goodbye, my almost lover
Goodbye, my hopeless dream
I’m trying not to think about you
Can’t you just let me be?
So long, my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should’ve known you’d bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do

This song brings me back to a place I can never forget. The hurt and the sorrow which every person deals with in their own way, is so painful it seems unbearable. I feel she speaks from the depths of my own heart and says the words I never had the guts to say. We have to all forgive first ourselves for being so naive to the situation before getting over the person who stole our hearts. The misconception that someone can change is our faults. Miscommunication on our parts. Believing is in our nature but it is our duty to ask questions to know the truth of the situation. Assuming is a fault. We are guilty of this. Even asking, is a problem. If you have to ask, you have doubt. This is very sad. Love should come to a relationship (or growing relationship) without question. We fool ourselves into believeing the fairy tale we were bred to some day live. Not every one will have a happy ending. All of us will hurt and bleed and ache. We will all realize life is not what it seems and that its impossible to avoid it. The feeling that your doing it all right is always wrong. You cannot make everyone happy, you can only wish them happiness. This song expresses that. I still feel sorrow for my almost lover. After three years of trying to fool myself into believing i could change the situation, I was left broken and alone. I don’t know what I expected. Marriage? It seems unreal to me. What if it happens again? What if i’m unhappy? What if?… Scary thought. I’m stronger now. I’m greatful to my almost lover for showing me the way to my self. For helping me realize who my friends were and helping me to never make the same bad decisions again. It wasnt a mistake, i dont regret trying. There were times things were good. I was in love. Its a feeling that consumes you and keeps you from realization of the truth. Be stong, be brave and always aware that the decisions you make are the fate of your future.
