Caroline and I spent a lot of time in Ghana listening to retro-music. OMG, some of this stuff was recorded before we were born! That doesn't mean it isn't good music.
I thought for the rest of my life
you'd see me through it.
Guess all along I knew it.
Nothing mattered everything was all right,
when you saw to it.
Before I knew it you were gone long gone.
You said you would always be there.
Well I believed you.
I was a fool to need you.
Gave my love then I gave you my heart.
And then you flew it.
Before I knew it
you were gone long gone. Hard facing another day.
Just crying the night away.
Said more than I meant to say
when I knew that you were gone.
I thought for the rest of my life
You'd see me through it.
Yes all along I knew it.
Didn't matter and it didn't seem right.
And then you flew it.
Before I knew it you were gone long gone.
You were gone long gone.
Chicago - Gone Long Gone
I know, I know - sometimes the words to songs sound trite when written in black and white, without the melody. But I wish, I wish, I wish someone would (or one of these days will) feel this way about me.
When I was at school, there were study guides for most things. And when studying at University, there were always lots of readings and references and notes that I could consult, when I was writing my assignments.
So how come, in this most important part of my life - namely relationships - how come there aren't study notes, reference books, "how to" notes on how to make and retain relationships, and how to handle the pain of breaking up when it comes? Isn't knowing how to be a human being just as important as knowing how to make money?
