Songs rarely mean for me what they mean for most others. I see metaphors and symbolism when others don’t.
In my dark moments, I don’t have to let him go. In the daylight, I do. I’m terrified of the light, because when I walk into it, it means I’m walking away from him. And that’s the last thing I ever wanted to do.
Memories flood my mind, and I hurt. In my memories, everything is perfect. I’m sure it wasn’t, but to me it was. I have to leave it behind because it’s gone, he’s gone. I can feel it.

Here I am waiting, I’ll have to leave soon, why am I holdin’ on
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast
This is our last night, but it’s late and I’m tryin’ not to sleep
‘Cuz I know, when I wake I will have to slip away
And when the daylight comes I’ll have to go
But, tonight I’m ‘gonna hold you so close
‘Cuz in the daylight, we’ll be on our own
But, tonight I need to hold you so close
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Here I am staring, at your perfection in my arms; so beautiful.
The sky is getting bright, the stars are burnin’ out.
Somebody slow it down.
This is way too hard, ‘cuz I know when the sun comes up I will leave
This is my last glance that will soon be memories
And when the daylight comes I’ll have to go
But, tonight I’m ‘gonna hold you so close
‘Cuz in the daylight, we’ll be on our own
But, tonight I need to hold you so close
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
I never wanted to stop, because I don’t want to start all over, start all over
I was afraid of the dark, but now it’s all that I want, all that I want, all that I want
And when the daylight comes I’ll have to go
But, tonight I’m ‘gonna hold you so close
‘Cuz in the daylight, we’ll be on our own
But, tonight I need to hold you so close
And when the daylight comes I’ll have to go
But, tonight I’m ‘gonna hold you so close
‘Cuz in the daylight, we’ll be on our own
But, tonight I need to hold you so close
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, oh whoa, oh whoa
Oh whoa, (yeah) oh whoa, (yeah) oh whoa (yeah) (yeah)
Oh whoa, (yeah hey) oh whoa, (yeah hey) oh whoa
It is funny how something can be totally different for one person than another. It all depends on the filter through which you are experiencing that thing. I can feel your pain, Kayla, and I’m sorry.
Some days are better than others. I think this most recent loss has thrown me off completely. On its own, it would have been bad enough. Combined with everything else, I’m struggling. I’ll be fine…I just have to go through the low period first…
Lovin’ this song honey. Reminds me of my B. Miss him so.
Every time I hear this one or Stay by Rihanna, I cry…every single time.
