It wasn't always like this.
I hope you know that.
In a way, I feel like I was misleading
'Cause before we moved in together,
You only saw me at work
And that if a different me.
Does that make any sense?
You know how you said that sometimes you put on a facade at work?
I guess maybe I do the same thing.
And I'm just wondering,
Which side of me is the side that makes you feel the way you do?
I hope it's not the miserable, self-loathing part of me.
Although lately, I don't feel like there is much else to me.
I am ashamed that you're even exposed to this.
The part of him that I hated,
That's what I feel I have become.
And I feel like when I left him, he kept the old me...
Everything that was good and happy.
I don't know how to get that back,
But I'm trying to figure it out.
I just hope that you don't regret what happened between us.
I think that people come into your life for a reason,
Maybe not the reason you thought,
But everything has its purpose.
Even though I'm not able to give you what you want,
Even though you're hurting and I'm hurting
And we have this distance between us,
I'm still glad it happened.
You showed me that it was possible for someone to generally care about...me,
Despite all my flaws.
It may even seem...
It may even seem small,
But it means more to me than you will ever know.
Just to forget for a minute, a second...
I told you before that I love you as much as much as it is possible for me to do so.
I hope you believe me.
I will never forget our time together,
No matter where we both end up.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
