Slipped

This song brings me back to my youth.... I used to know a guy, and we had been living our entire lives in this dead little town we both hated. We were so freakin’ young that we never cared about the future. I remember he used to come to my house all the time at night, just to drive us far away into this woods. There, we would spend our time escaping from our lives and problems, drinking and laughing and loving each other, forgetting our troubles together, before going back to it all the next day. I never understood why over the years we never left our respective boyfriends and girlfriends to be together. One day I realised he was the only thing holding me to that town, but he could never be what I wanted him to be, so I decided to move to a big city far away. He heard the news from his friends but we didn’t even say goodbye. Then, after years, we met again on a cold night I will never forget. It was seven years ago and I was back in town on vacation. We were both drunk, sad and upset at each other, but somehow we managed to spend another night together, before realising once again, we couldn’t be what the other one wanted. I woke up the next day with the most bittersweet memories, before abandoning our bloody town and hearts once again. That was the last time I saw him.
