Not saying anything against you personally, but why is it that people and society in general equate happiness with being in a relationship? Why can't someone be happy single? Like oh I remember listening to this back when I was single and depressed and now I'm engaged and happy. Huh!!!? So in order to be happy you need another person's validation? You can't be happy alone? Just doesn't make any sense to me.

@@jbro8934 I understand that. The way I see it, once you're happy w yourself, you realize the type of partner you want bc you now know what your inner being wants in a partner. People can choose to be alone and happy or be in a relationship and be happy. And as for society I feel like now is when people are being more aware of their own inner being and how it's important to love yourself first and that it's okay to be single and be happy with yourself. It just depends on the person I guess.

I used to be dismissive of how many songs there are about heartbreak, even into my 30s. It's just so cliche to write a sad song after a breakup, I thought. So melodramatic. This year I experienced my first real, absolutely crushing heartbreak. All of a sudden, every song makes sense. I finally understand that it wasn't being melodramatic or cliche... It's just that the songwriters are trying to make sense of impossible emotions. Of truly inescapable feeling, soul bleeding emotions that you have no control over. It's impossible. It's beautiful. It's scary and painful and so human. I finally get it.

I listened to this dozens of times on repeat when I was broken hearted. I cried until I was almost sick. I got through it & now I am finally with the love of my life. Married almost 9 years now.

I came across this just now, and as Im listening to it, I realize that I used to listen to this song regularly 11-12 yrs ago. But I had forgotten it to time. Hearing this once more again trudges up the old memories, like stepping back in time. How things in life seemed so ephemeral and fleeting in the way of relationships, and how I had yearned for something lasting. And 11-12 years later… nothing has changed 😱🤣. To whomever read this far, have a nice day !

Listening to the song again after so many years and remembering what life was like then, I realized that I no longer felt any of those former emotions. These days now, whether in the presence or absence of certain aspects, my outlook on things remains consistent, and I'm glad for it.@@inheritmyshoes9559

I was married to my "almost lover" about 13 years ago. We had a very intense, passionate and short relationship. Together for 4 years and even had a child together. He was (is) the master of illusion, and a man of many faces. I fell for one person, but another would come out to play, after I had our child. It was the hardest thing I had to endure and soldier through, even after a pretty intense upbringing. I thank him for giving me the ability to love better, after him. Without that kind of sadness and pain, I probably would never have found, my now husband., and truly appreciate what REAL love is. Not everyone you meet, are meant to join you, on your path through life.

Glad to hear your “happy “experience, im in your shoes, so i understanđ

i met a guy who became my best friend (seemingly overnight) and i fell for him harder and more deeply than i ever imagined would be possible. never in my life have i loved anyone with that kind of raw and limitless passion and never will i again. how amazing it is to love someone so fiercely that all else in this world disappears, but when everything else has disappeared what is left when this person also is no longer there? nothing more than a void, of course. a sharp, painful piercing in the center of your heart that acts as a vacuum, systematically consuming every ounce of your being, right down to the very fabric of your soul. here i am years later, still haunted by his face in my most sublime dreams and only in sleep does my heart find solace. i must hide this pain on a daily basis and when it becomes too much to bear i release my tears in the shower under the comfort of the water's disguise. and when thoughts of him creep in and deteriorate my feeble attempts at sleep, i use the mask of nighttime darkness to conceal the tears as they flow relentlessly upon my pillowcase. this heartbreaking life has become my existence and i can no longer remember what it was to feel anything other than this, or to laugh, smile, enjoy life for what it was before i met him. and yet despite the pain, i cannot bear to wish i never met him for during that brief time in which i looked into his eyes, felt his touch, enjoyed his presence- i felt something so undeniably beautiful that it managed to both awaken and destroy me, in an instant. i want so badly to tell him how i feel and this song does a pretty good job- as do numerous others, but i cannot bear to put myself out there and risk a painful rejection. i guess i'd rather live in my dreams where i am able to confess my adoration without hesitation or fear- for it is there that without fail he always embraces me and tells me how much he has missed me, how dearly he loves me, how painful it has been without me. it is there that he is not my 'almost lover', he is not an untouchable piece of the past, he is not my painful and lonely present existence... it is there, in my dreams, that my heart takes a break from the misery of his absence and instead basks in the pure happiness derived from loving the one person who i cared for so much that he actually had the power to break my heart into a zillion pieces. without the complications of life and it's commitments it is just him and i and an undeniable love and it is in these most spectacular of dreams that i am able to feel what it is to live rather than to simply exist. SGDCII, i may never have a chance to say this to you in person, so instead i will exclaim to strangers what i cannot bear to hold inside another moment and what i only wish i could actually say to you- which is that without fail, without doubt, without hesitation, without judgment, and without waiver: i love you. more than can be comprehended by the human mind- I completely, fully, purely, limitlessly, unconditionally, truly love you. i am yours; always have been and always will be. my heart has belonged to you since the -day we met- beginning of time.... should you ever decide you want it, just say the word. ~HB~

I met him about 2 years ago. We fell for each other pretty quick. Spent every other day, if not everyday, together. Told each other we were exactly what the other was looking for. About two months in, he just fades out. Disappears, and ignores me completely. He had personal drama in his life, but I hoped he might sort it out and come back to me... For months I waited. I came across this song and it killed me. "I never want to see you unhappy, I thought you'd want the same for me". "The sweetest sadness in your eyes.... clever trick". Made me realize that maybe he just wasn't that amazing. Maybe he treats women like this. Tells his sad story. Plays the victim. Up and leaves. Without notice. Treats you like you never mattered in the first place.... Someone leaving you hurts, but realizing that they simply aren't even concerned about you in any way is what is truly heart breaking. You don't only lose an "almost lover"... You lose a friend. Someone you grew to wish the best for. To really care for. Just to realize they don't care about you. They don't even call you to give you a warning. They don't even check up on you months later to see how everything is in life. And if you have an encounter they try to play it off like nothing ever happened... And you're left with these memories. You think about how much value they brought to you initially and are left wondering, "Did I make it that easy to walk in and out of my life?" Because they sure as hell didn't make it easy for you to let them go.... BTW, am I the only one who wants to cry even more just seeing the singer sad? lol

We walked all over this town. We made memories on every sidewalk, every street, every back way and all the gas stations. I can't go anywhere without suddenly realizing I'll never walk any of these paths with you ever again. That's the sad thing about memories. Sometimes you remember, sometimes you don't. When you do remember, it's a truly bittersweet situation. You want those days back. The holding hands, cuddling, kissing, laughing, watching movies, the love. You want it all back. But you're stuck with just remembering, knowing they have forgotten, or that they are trying to forget. I don't know if I should hold on to these memories, or if I, too, should forget them. I don't think I could forget if I tried. Good for you, my almost lover. Good for you.

I met a foreigner a week ago, and he has to go back to his country. It's only 3 days, but it's like a dream, a short movie. And I liked him, sadly and unfortunately. And it sounds crazy but he still haunts me until now. When he had already gone back, he didn't want to keep in contact with me anymore. I know he think like what happened in Rome stays in Rome. Then I randomly found this song, and it sounds like it's perfect for what I'm feeling. "And when you left you kissed my lips, you told me you'd never ever forget these images." It's heartache, but it's not love. It's a painful but beautiful memory. Feel like what I'm feeling now is put into a song, and it sounds wonderful :)

Still get uncontrollable chills when I hear this song. Even more so watching the video. Such a beautiful woman. Beautiful soul

Even in a sad song like this, I get lost in her voice. It’s perfect and calming. I’ve listened to her songs since her first album and have never been disappointed. This is one of my favorites

What hurts more,is "almost" . Realising that you were the only one in relationship, who was fallen in love,hurts.

AN NA I understand what you mean, I fell in love with a woman who was ten years older than me, we were just friends but we had relations sometimes, and it was lovely, but I fell in love with her, and I fell deeply in love with someone who couldn’t love me back. To this day 8 years later I still don’t understand what went wrong or how it happened or why she truly broke up with me. She said it was her and not me, but I know it was definitely me, but I didn’t know why, I woke up next to her one day and she said that we needed to break up, I was confused at what was happening, was it a joke, was it real, was I dreaming? Then my heart ached so hard, it was beating out of my chest and I then knew what true love felt like, I was head over heels in love with her and she let me go, we spent the day together one last time and then 7pm came and it was no more, I went home, the next day I nearly killed myself because I imagined a life without her, I took two boxes of paracetomol, and I ended up being sick and falling to the floor and thought I was going to die, I was by myself but I managed to get up and be sick and I looked after myself that day. But then the next week was the same, I couldn’t heal and I was a mess, and I then started cutting myself. The rest is history but to this day I still can’t understand what happened. Love is powerful, love is special, love should never be a secret. You do crazy things for love, to everyone out there hurting and struggling, you are beautiful and brilliant in every way, look after yourself and time is a healer, look after number one and you’ll pull through

Worst, both being madly and passionately in love with each other, but jealousy issues, and personal issues tore it all apart.

Your fingertips across my skin The palm trees swaying in the wind Images You sang me Spanish lullabies The sweetest sadness in your eyes Clever trick Well, I never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me [Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do We walked along a crowded street You took my hand and danced with me Images And when you left, you kissed my lips You told me you would never, never forget These images No Well, I'd never want to see you unhappy I thought you'd want the same for me [Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should've known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do I cannot go to the ocean I cannot drive the streets at night I cannot wake up in the morning Without you on my mind So you're gone and I'm haunted And I bet you are just fine Did I make it that Easy to walk right in and out Of my life? [Chorus] Goodbye, my almost lover Goodbye, my hopeless dream I'm trying not to think about you Can't you just let me be? So long, my luckless romance My back is turned on you Should have known you'd bring me heartache Almost lovers always do

Oh my gosh this song!!! I loved this song so much when it came out and I'm so happy to hear this again!

But on a whim I listened to this and I cant help smile, not because my first love ended but because it happened. Corny yes but true.

13 years for me. Still healing, if you can call it that. Stuck in the past. I’m institutionalized.

Wish i would have been to this comment section in 2008. I really needed it. I was an awkward teen hopelessly devoted to a guy that didn't reciprocate my love. Wish I could tell that young girl crying to "Almost Lover" on repeat to just be patient, you're going to meet the man of your dreams and have a wonderful family together, so focus on finding yourself and enjoying your teen years instead of giving this dude all your energy and attention!

This is such a well written song. Great lyrics and a wonderful melody. Also the subject is so relatable! Truly a work of art!

I listened to this as a broken- hearted teen..over and over again... Im now happily married, but still love this song ( married to my college sweetheart not that high school douche bag)

I've lived this multiple times. Just discovered there was this song about it! Memories of the times I said 'no' haunt me. Always say 'yes'!

Years later one of the best songs to emulate what happens to me through my life. God I love a man who doesn't love me, so much pain. It really makes you not want to live. I know I know life is worth living its just....when the love of your life doesnt want you life ceases to stop being worthy to live. God please help me to get over this.

I can't believe this song managed to bypass me since 2008. Heard it first today while driving and it's every bit as glorious to the ears.

It's sad when you've finally found your soulmate, your other half, the one you truly loved but she doesn't care about you as much as you ever did. You know no matter how much you love her, you can never make her love you. Never can.

@justpractice

then that isn't really your soulmate. I think you label her as your soulmate too soon. I feel like soulmate is a term that you can say when reflecting back on life but not forward.

Painfully beautiful

Such a beautiful song. Ladies, don't think men don't go through bad break ups but when you learn to love yourself it makes things much easier. Just know that the only one that matters is you. Its not love that hurts its the person that we have allowed to hurt us. When we own the power we can heal ourselves. Whatever you do don't put up walls because it will only make you bitter...just LOVE YOURSELF AND TRUE LOVE WILL ONE DAY FIND YOU. This is a beautiful song... Let's all enjoy it in a good way. Blessings to each and everyone.

When the person you love says they dont love you anymore, that ish hits different. The fact that you have been rejected makes you want to hold on but deep down you knw that the right thing to do is to let them go. Its the hardlest thing i'll ever have to do because I honestly have never imagined my future without him.

This was my favorite song - even inspired me to write a song myself... I watched fantastic beasts for the first time yesterday and looked up the cast bc that's something I do... When I saw her description, I freaked out and have been listening to this song on repeat for the first time in years!

Heard this when I was in 9th grade. I was 14-15. I’m about to be 26 now and I don’t know why this song just keeps ringing in my head all of a sudden. I find myself signing it when I least expect it. I’m not even feeling melancholy but it just keeps ringing in my head. Good old times back in 2007..

Always my favorite! A masterpiece indeed. Still here after all those years. 😊

This song is beautiful and so is this artist. ♥️

Still just as great and masochistic 12 years later. Hate to love it and love to hate it. "I cannot drive the streets at night...I cannot go to the ocean." Breaks my heart more than just romantically during this quarantine. ❤
