After reading Willaim115, it got me thinking about my feelings about this song rather than analyzing the lyrics.
The song has always felt like my pining and unrequited feelings towards this particular person. We've been friends for a couple of years now and at the beginning we were very close. We'd always be found sitting together or reading the same books. They were my go-to person within our group of friends. But at the beginning, I never noticed how close we really were... and I just...took it all for granted.
This is when I started to question if we were really 'just friends' or something else and if I wanted that. At the time, I didn't know what I wanted and followed through with whatever we were doing. It never got very far, the whole thing was innocent puppy love. I was confused if they really liked me.
Eventually, they grew distant from me and abruptly cut off contact with me. Complete radio silence. That was at the point in time I realized that I really liked this person. They were sweet, and kind and shared my humor and interests. But I guess you never can fully appreciate something until it's gone. With their absence, I'm left feeling unexplainably sad. We were never 'together' despite our friend's teasing and rumors yet I feel more hollow than when I've lost any old friends. At this point, I just want them to speak to me again, even if it isn't going to be like it was before, even if we are just friends.
I miss her, and Lovers Rock despite meaning something entirely different, feels deeply like my feelings towards her. My unsuccessful attempt to act upon the fleeting moments of a spark we may have both shared at a point in time.
