OH yeah, When I hear this song I want to laugh and I want to cry. My first love is no longer with me due to his untimely death and we we together long enough to have children. This song, it's a perfect portrait of my situation. Applying to all versions or it. A twisted co dependency on a deceased love, strange things happen. Once I get my life going again, he shows up in spirit form and it triggers happiness because i miss him and I'm glad he is around...but also, He is as real as the pain I feel. Sometimes I think I am going to go crazy. The difference between being in love with a spirit and a physical person is that in the physical world you have to live a life,generally, and you wish to share all of the sensations life has to offer with your soul mate. If your soul mate passes away at a very young age, you're left with a half life. I thought I was the only person in the world who felt this way. I'm very tired of grieving, but the love I feel will not let me stop. If I let go of the pain, perhaps the love I feel will disappear? I feel him in spirit all around me. "letting go" is a two way thing. I can't say "I don't love you, I don't miss you, I don't need you" when he comes to me. I want him around- but it is depressing, as I miss his touch, I miss his face...
He is around, (and I have hard evidence in the form of a photograph, if anyone's interested in seeing it)
