Silently, Separately
Discovering Love's Whisper: Neighbor Lady's Silently, Separately Tale
Lyrics
When I was alone
Expressing a past state of solitude
I never believed in things like this
Initially skeptical or disbelieving in certain things
And when I thought I did
Reflecting on a past belief that proved insufficient
It never compared to how this is
Comparing past experiences to the current profound one
You could say I lost my cynical side
Acknowledging a shift from a cynical mindset
Tied a knot and then declined
Symbolic act of commitment and then withdrawal
Every thought I ever had
Struggling with thoughts and inner conflict
Trying to talk myself out of you
Attempting self-persuasion to resist feelings
You were always standing right there in front of me
Realization of a constant presence in one's life
But in my defense you were standing hesitantly
Acknowledging hesitation in the other person
We were striving silently, separately
Describing a shared journey of progress without vocalizing
And I thought you'd never know how much it meant to me
Belief that the other person may not fully comprehend the significance
I thought I'd just have to leave this town
Contemplating leaving the current situation or relationship
Lying to myself saying I don't need you anyhow
Deception to oneself about independence
Thought you were some sore of long shot
Initial perception of the other person as unlikely or problematic
Or just a sore spot
Considering the other person as a source of discomfort
But how I was wrong
Acknowledging a previous misunderstanding
And I see you now
Perceiving the other person clearly now
And I feel you now
Feeling the presence of the other person intensely
And I finally understand how you were screaming out
Understanding the unspoken emotions expressed by the other person
For it all along
Realization that the other person had been expressing needs silently
Oh how I was wrong
Acknowledging a past misjudgment
Oh how I was wrong
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a past mistake
You were always standing right there in front of me
Repetition of the realization of the constant presence
But in my defense you were standing hesitantly
Reiteration of the other person's initial hesitation
We were striving silently, separately
Reiteration of the silent, separate journey together
And I thought you'd never know how much it meant to me
Repeating the belief that the other person may not fully understand the significance
