| Grateful Dead – High Time Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
I've heard this song a hundred times, but until recently I've never understood it on a personal level. I think your description is pretty accurate though. I say this because.. I met the love of my life when I was twelve. We've been close off and on for 25 years. We are each other's oldest and closest friend. When he's hurting, he's always come to me; I am the shelter from the rain. And though he does love me, I am not the love of his life. And now, for the first time in our adult lives, we're both single and we keep trying to make it work between us, but it always goes wrong. The bond is unconditional, the love is there, and while he wants me there for him, to live with him and take on the world together, he doesn't want to invest his heart. He is still in pain from his recently failed marriage and losing the love of his life. He'll tell me he cannot commit but the intensity between us and expressions of love make it impossible to understand. We get so close, I get wrapped up, then we'll get drunk and we'll argue or he'll sleep with someone else and it all implodes. We'll tell each other it's over and say our goodbyes, but neither of us can pull ourselves apart. We keep hurting each other over and over. |
