when I broke up with my last boyfriend I didn't want to. It was a horrible break up but I just couldn't be in a long distance relationship and I wasn't willing to make the changes to be in the same place he was.

It came to the end It seems you had heard As we walked the city streets You never said a word

He knew the break up was coming I had stopped talking to him as much as I usually did. I came to visit him one last time but I couldn't make myself say the words.

When we finally sat down Your eyes were full of spite I was desperate, I was weak I could not put up a fight

He started to cry and I got mad honestly. I was annoyed he didn't understand why I was so unhappy. But it was so horrible to see how upset he was so I began to cry too.

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

I think about him everyday, I miss him everyday. He was so silly and so cute and so full of life. So many things remind me of him, I wonder is the same is true for him

You were strangely less than pained Then you were cold Triumphant in your mind Of the logic that you hold

When I finally got up the nerve to end it his face was just blank. He was mad at me and assumed there was someone else he couldn't understand my reasoning

You said no one would ever know The love that we had shared As I took my leave to go It was clear that you didn't care

Our relationship was rocky to begin with my friends didn't think I should be with him. In fact I broke up with a boy for him and no one understood what I saw in him. No one understood why we loved each other so much it wasn't meant to be but it happened. When I left he turned his back and didn't talk to me for a long time.

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

I always wonder what he's doing and if he misses me

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

And I hear of your coming And your going in the town I hear stories of your smile I hear stories of your frown

Whenever I talk to my friends from that town I always ask if anyone has heard about him. Whenever they actually have information it makes me sad, I miss him

And the darkness can descend We can relish all the pain But I know that's what you love 'Cause you know I love the same

when he finally began talking to me again he still loved me, and still missed me but we know that we can't be together. It just wouldn't work

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

Where are you now? Where are you now? Do you ever think of me In the quiet, in the crowd?

Is this a true story? Does this song actually relate to you this much, or is it just your interpretation?

So, I'm at the school library crying my ass off. My ex-boyfriend actually moved to the Netherlands and I broke up with him then. We talk, but things are even more painful.. I can't move on, really can't. So thank you, thank you for not letting me be alone. I just hope things turn out alright for us, and that you are ok :)
