It sucks that things have to change.

I miss what it was like when we first met. How much fun we had, how exciting it was. I don't think we could have controlled how our relationship evolved -- we became more like friends than lovers. But I value our friendship, I don't wanna lose it. I miss you. But we weren't like boyfriends anymore despite us saying and wishing we could make it work. Could we have lived happily ever after as best friends who just spend time together, eat together, confide in each other, support each other, and sleep in the same bed? I wish it could be, but it seemed unfair(?) and not the way things are supposed to be with that relationship title.

I miss holding your hand, spending time with you, and feeling safe.

I dislike the unknown. I feel like I did 2 or 3 years ago, after I finished university. Not knowing exactly what I should be doing. I have an idea, but I'm still scared… until I get there it's a lot of stress, pressure and self-doubt. Where did I put my safety net?

Not to be emo, but Nelly Furtado sums it up pretty well in All Good Things.

It's partially a growing up song. It's about that point in life when you're not a child and you start to see how harsh reality is. You wonder where you fit in, in the scheme of things. You try different things, hoping you won't become "old." It's also partially about losing a love. You've tried everything and it still doesn't work out. You know it's not working, even after you leave you still feel it. That's what the whole "Well the dogs were whistling a new tune..." part is about. You know you have to change, but it's painful. -- Review by Dengeist
