didn't expect it to hurt this much

 I can't seem to open my heart to anyone else because it was always him. He set the standard for everything, and even though I know it wasn’t enough love for us to stay together, maybe it was love in its own way. I’ve tried to move on, but the thought of him with someone else still stings. I’m genuinely happy for them; she deserves him, and I hope they’re happy. Yet, throughout all this time, I haven’t found someone new who I feel the same for. As I grow older, I realize I want to be more careful with my heart. I’m okay without him, but that doesn’t mean the longing has faded.

Lizzy McAlpine - Older

 

"Older" by Lizzy McAlpine delves into the unsettling experience of growing up, capturing the fear of losing love, watching parents age, and questioning the choices we make along the way. The song’s stillness, marked by its repetitive instrumentals and melancholy lyrics, reflects a sense of powerlessness and the monotony of life’s progression. Though lacking the dynamic intensity of McAlpine's previous works, "Older" resonates deeply through its deliberate simplicity, evoking feelings of emptiness and nostalgia. It plays almost like a melancholic lullaby, expressing the universal longing for the past and the fear of an uncertain future.

It’s so great to see you again

After a year, here we are again. You’re still the same, your scent lingering in the air just as I remembered. Those eyes, still holding the same gaze, pulling me in. You look so cute—your big eyes, your pointed nose, your tiny lips—all as if untouched by time. And your arms, I just want to stay there for a while, wrapped in the comfort they offer. I’m trying so hard to control myself, but "ya Allah, can this person not be so attractive? Please, why are you so unbelievably cute!"

Fall

The fall stays in my room
Still not able to forget you
I've been living in the remaining fragrance of you
Guess what, you probably don't know it
But I miss you so much
How are you doing?
How are you doing without me?
My days are really long
Is this always how every parting is?

:) IY (:
