Goodbye, Almost Lover

I was on my way to the dentist one afternoon when I heard a new song over the taxi's radio. Curious with the song, I listened to the words and suddenly heard myself singing along... one of those very rare moments, I told myself.

The term 'almost lover' may differ in meaning for each person. It may be someone you are courting but got basted, or your MU (mag-un!), or a friend whom you fell in love with, or someone you are just looking from afar.

I relate myself with this song because I really want him to be happy but know that I can't give it to him. Why? Simply because I'm not the one he loves.

I decided to let go of this feeling more than a month ago but it came back... not liking it at all.

It's hard loving someone from a distance. I so want to show how much care and love I can give but knowing his current state, it's almost impossible.

One thing that I am thankful of is I learned to keep my feelings to myself...

Anyway, here's the song...

and the lyrics

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
