Lyric discussion by Nylo 

This song means lots to me.

Me and my gf were madly in love these past two years of college. I left one weekend for a vacation, and when I got back she had changed. No other guy, no lies, or anything like that. She wanted to live life on her own. She wanted to find out who she was inside. There were no warnings, no signs. Just like that one day; all over.

We tried to hold on, but it was too hard. She couldn't hold on to a relationship, and I didn't know how to not want more when I was with her; I had her, but I couldn't keep her. I could hug her, but I couldn't hold her.
When I did, it meant different things to us. "When you get what you want, but not what you need". ...yeah. Definitely.

I had to cut off our contact and walk away, it was getting bad for us; especially me. She thinks I've let go, and that I'm gone for good; but that's not true. She needs the freedom to choose her own life path, even if that means finding someone else. It's tough, but I love that girl that much.

Unrequited love has nothing on unconditional love.

Honestly this is one of the most beautiful things i have ever read

@Nylo Beautifully written! This sounds like a similar situation with my ex and me. I'd give anything to hear him say those words. We ended 8 years ago in college and we're both married now so needless to say we've moved on. I think about him and there are times I miss him because of the connection we had. I hope you've been able to find a love you want and need.

@Nylo this is the most beautiful thing I've ever read. I hope you found the answers you were seeking. Love is hard. Me? I'm so lucky in that department considering I was born differently. We all have a story, different struggles. I look at this song and what it means to everyone - something different but yet all remains the same. It symbolizes a guiding light of hope telling us that it will be okay.

You're a good person and I hope you've found the love you deserve!
