I bumped into a girl I knew growing up who is now a teacher, just a few days after school let out back in June. We started hanging out once or twice a week and would have sex, but we would occasionally do 'couple' things like go to the movies or get ice cream. The day before the first day of school she let me know that she wouldn't have time to hang out in the fall and that she was ending it. It was never an official thing but it still made me feel awful. I heard this song at work today and everything makes me feel about this experience, although I do agree it's probably more of a general breakup song. 'strangers when we meet/strangers on the street' is pretty much exactly how we ran into each other (I didn't even recognize her at first) and 'you know it's not the end/We'll always be good friends' is basically how she dumped me. 'strangers down the line/Lovers out of time/Memories unwind' really gets to me though, because our relationship had such a time limit - the first day of summer vacation to the last. i really don't know if anyone reads these, or posts here a lot, but maybe someone will like or reply to this comment sometime and i'll get a notification on my phone that will remind me of this bittersweet summer that i had. |
