This song is beautiful and very painful to hear at the same time, it's actually pretty hard to describe in my own words how I really feel about it and how it speaks to me, but I'll try...

It's actually something that is overcoming me right now, which is that I'm desperately in love with a girl who has fallen in love with someone else. As they got together and she told me, I felt so sad but at the same time I was very happy for her... after she told me that she fell in love with that guy I couldn't help but explain the love I had for her all this time. Day by day we talked and talked and talked... but it wasn't the same as before, it wasn't the same as when she didn't have a boyfriend.

And it really wasn't getting better between the two of us anymore because I kept trying to win her for myself which was really selfish of me, so we talked about it and we both decided that we have to take measurements on how we are going to maintain our friendship. We both agreed to not talk to each other so often anymore as we would.

It went well for awhile, but 'the bubble burst' and even after our promise I still desperately tried to let her fall in love with me. 'I started looking for excuses' on how we should talk more with each other again, because basically everything she does or says makes me fall in love with her all over again. It has now kind of gotten out of hand, because I couldn't control my feelings for her anymore, I loved her so much. Even though I tried and tried to hide my feelings as much as I could, it didn't work out.

Two days ago she told me that it is really bothering her that I give her attention which she should actually get from her current boyfriend and started to feel things for me every time I talked to her and contemplated about whether she should remove me from every single social media connection, to spend more time with the guy she actually fell in love with in the first place. She did remove me in the end...

And now I'm kind of stuck and listening to this song over and over again, desperately hoping that she'll realize that 'I was an island and she passed me by', that 'I was an island she still has to discover'. I want to tell her on this moment but I can't anymore, but if I could... 'I want to tell her in my loudest tone' that..

The truth is,

That I miss her so much...

My Interpretation

@kma88 same with my story.. Sad, but we have to accept.

@kma88 dude how are u

@kma88 You shared so much of yourself and what you were going through at the time. It takes a lot to do that and I hope you have since made peace with yourself.
