| The Cure – Just Like Heaven Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I remember hearing and really liking this song (but not really listening to the lyrics) in '91 when dating with my very first girlfriend. I was at my worst puberty at the time, pretty much lost and not really knowing how to handle the relationship with this absolutely magical girl who, being slightly younger and a somewhat shy and reserved was not expressing her affection in the way that I thought I wanted. I'm not talking about anything sexual, just some abstract "little things" I felt were missing but could not explain. After about 18 months of frustration I dumped her for another girl - a lot "easier" and outgoing one who didn't make me think about all the relationship stuff all the time. I remember even feeling a bit angry towards this ex-girlfriend (not sure why), even when reading her tear-stained letters asking what she had done wrong and telling me about her family issues. I selfishly dumped her at the worst possible moment. It took me a while but I finally realized what I had lost. I did not care at all about this new girl (actually strongly disliked her after some time). I could not understand why I had been such an ass and what the hell I had thought was missing in the previous relationship, but I was so ashamed of myself that I found it impossible to beg her to come back. All my later relationships were just poor excuses for what I now knew I really wanted. About seven years later I bought "Kiss me, Kiss me, Kiss me" and was absolutely blown away by how fittingly these lyrics described what I had gone through and felt like back then and what I had only realized afterwards. All the things that really matter had always been there, I had just been too blind (stupid) and confused with _myself_ to see it. btw, I finally ended up marrying and having kids with my "just like heaven" girl :D |
