Far Behind Lyrics

This song reminds me of one of my high school boyfriends. He and I were friends until we went out. The break up was not on good terms and I hurt him, but we were able to become friends eventually and ended up running around with the same crowd growing up. We were all involved in drugs and partied hard back then. There were moments between us, but the oppertunity for us to reconnect back together was never taken. Then I went to college, and didn't really talk to anyone after I left.

My sophomore year of college I got a phone call from a friend, he had shot himself in the head after a long night of parting. No one knows why. Even though I know there is nothing I could do to change what happened, I still question the choices I made with our friendship and that if those oppertunities had been taken would the out come be the same. I struggled with that for a long time (it has been almost six years now), and from time to time still do think about it.

What is even stranger is when this song came out, we were together, and it ALWAYS reminded me of him and that summer. What I didn't know is how much it would come true.
