It was a rainy day. The radio was turned on and a song started to play. He knows that song, it describes his feelings, so he's singing along with it.
I heard
That you're settled down
That you
Found a girl
And you're
Married now
I heard
That your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things
I didn't give to you
He remembered that day. When he met him. When they started to become friends, later best friends. They spent a lot of time together, and they enjoyed every minute of it.
Old friend
Why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back
Or hide from the light
His voice is shaking, the memories are so hard, they make him cry. He's almost crying. He sees his face in front of him, his perfect hazel eyes, his perfect jaw, cute smile and then it hit him. There was a girl next to him. Yes, she is his wife. He's got a wife, because he's straight.
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over
Yeah, he's straight now. But when they were together it was amazing, right then he was not straight, he was gay or at least he was in love with him. Darren was in love with him. But that was 10 years ago.
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me", I begged
"I'll remember", you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead,
Yeah.
10 long years, and Chris's heart is still broken. He couldn't forget him. He just couldn't, it's hard to believe that it's over now. They shared a lot of good moment together. Dates in restaurants, in the park. Darren always gave him some little gift before the dates started. A rose, or chocolate or just a little plush animal. It was so cute. Darren cared about him. He wanted him to smile, to feel happy every time they were together. But after 10 years, he just couldn't smile anymore.
You know how the time flies
Only yesterday
It was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise
Of our glory days
I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.
It's over. This is the hardest thing he ever have to admit to himself. Over. He's alone because he lost Darren. He lost the only people he ever truly loved. He knows that he have to find someone. He had some date in the past years. But everyone he met they remind him to Darren. He tried to date with a brown, curly haired guy, but when he looked at him, he saw Darren he's cute curly hair and he just wanted to cry and run out of the world. But now, it was enough, he can't handle it anymore, it was too much pain, he really wanted to forget him.
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me", I begged
"I'll remember", you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead."
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known
How bittersweet this would taste?
Never mind
I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
"Don't forget me", I begged
"I'll remember", you said
"Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead"
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Yeah, he have to forget him. Maybe later he can do that. Maybe he needs one more year to forget him. Maybe one or two. But right now, he's lying on his bed and cry. Because it hurts. So maybe one day he will be strong enough to forget him but not now.
Not right now, because he still loves him. After all of those fucking awful moments when he just couldn't get out of his bed, watching the only picture with him and Darren together, and crying so hard. Because he still loves him.
Maybe one day he will be strong enough, but not yet.
