Shadows Fall
The Cure - There Is No If

There are times when I look back and see a shadow of what once was happiness but there is always doubt about whether it was or wasn’t what we thought it could be.  Whether that four letter word meant anything to us at all besides an emotional burst of expectations.  As doubt creeps in, the shadows of who we are and the people in our lives fade and disappear – just like I did. 

Where does a confused person begin to understand how and why they got so confused? 

It started on a spring afternoon when the flowers bloomed and the sun’s glare made our eyes squint.  It ended on a lonely night when we were separated by thousands of miles and an awkward silence, as we both tried to catch up with our emotions. 

And slowly I saw the wind gently blow down the house that we had built.
