Please don't say we're done when I'm not finished



Day 5 - A song that reminds you of someone

Heart Skipped A Beat - The XX

It's been a while
And you've found someone better
But I've been waiting too long to give this up
The more I see, I understand
But sometimes, I still need you

And I was struggling to get in
Left waiting outside your door
I was sure
You'd give me more

No need to come to me
When I can make it all the way to you
You made it clear
You weren't near
Near enough for me


This song never fails to remind me of my ex-boyfriend and good friend K. It's about an hours drive to his house or a considerable train trip after work and I would always listen to The XX album on my way. I quickly fell in love with this song, which, little did I know, would ironically and precisely chronicle our relationship. Perhaps that is why it ended up such a solid memory.
