Cover art for Days I Had With You lyrics by Kings of Convenience

it's pretty sad when dreams are all you have left of something. even sadder still is almost becoming numb to it, since it happens all the time. that's how I feel when I hear this song: a disconnected recollection. he's become almost numb to the fact memories are all he has left.

I guess all you can do when you've been abandoned is become numb, so as to not die from the pain of it.
