Acceptance and Denial

It’s about someone who was in love and watching the other move on and change to be someone they never knew. They are still stuck trying to grasp the idea and move on to have their own life but the person the once loved keeps coming back every once and a while every time they’ve been forgotten.

Like You Should Be
