Pictures of You Lyrics

Cover art for Pictures of You lyrics by Cure, The

do you remember the first person you feel in love with? really, fell in love with? trusted with everything? do you remember the rush of hormones? the intensity? do you remember how it felt when it ended? the raw pain, the raw ache. you never hurt the same about anyone again. you'll never feel exactly the same about anyone else, again. there are new loves, different loves, but none that compare to your first love. the first cut is always the worst because you haven't learned how to cope and defend yourself from the pain yet.

that is what this song makes me think of- but in a poetic, elegantly painful kind of way.

@keighleycakes All that you say is true. For a man, its tougher (IMHO). Women tend to have this survival mechanism in which they get over a relationship much faster and get closure by focusing on their current priorities. I fell madly in love (we both did) with a girl when I was 23....Im 34 now and I still cry sometimes....we are still in love but have parted ways...she married...I went through a relationship then split...Im single and believe I will remain single till I die. In my deathbed, I will be thinking of her....and after so many years, will see her again......

@mochi_kei It's all I can think of when I think of the time I used to live.

@rubifen109 It's irresistible to stroke the feeling of longing; it makes one fantasize about what could have been and what could be - it's comforting in a way.

But take it from me, sir, it will destroy you. If you find yourself new memories and experiences, you will find a girl who can be just as great, if not greater than the one that got away. Don't let the past eat you. Just trying to give words of encouragement.
