yeah ... this is how I felt during the last months of my last relationship.
see, boyfriend and I were well and good (best friends to boot) until we went off to our separate colleges, a thousand miles apart. I enjoy drinking, while he is militantly straight edge and gets all upset if ANYONE drinks at all. he would always feel threatened if I was good friends with a guy, and I developed a few really close friendships with some guys I met at college. he was the sweetest guy ever, though, a terrific boyfriend, and in no way would I ever want to hurt him; so I just had to start leaving big chunks of my life when I'd talk to him.
about that time I picked up my copy of "the madding crowd", which I hadn't listened to in a while, and listened. 257 weeks just really stood out. the lines "and it's so sad, you're so good and I'm so bad / but you won't see me wasting the best thing I ever had / and it's such a shame that I can't tell you anything / you won't hear me / still you endear me now"
So...yeah. This is about a relationship where open, honest, communication has taken a backseat to him not wanting to hurt her.
