for you
Nostalgic Echoes: Embracing Memories and Heartache in 'For You' by Olivia Piscopo
Lyrics
I miss
I feel a sense of loss or absence.
My fingers twirling through your hair
I miss the tactile experience of running my fingers through your hair.
And I miss laying my head
I miss the intimacy of resting my head on your chest.
On your chest breathing quietly
Recollection of a peaceful moment where we breathed together quietly.
I recall
Recalling a specific memory or time.
Two summers ago
Referring to a period in the past, specifically two summers ago.
You told me you loved me so
You expressed love to me during that time.
We danced
We enjoyed dancing together.
Right under the stars
Describing a romantic setting beneath the stars.
It felt just like the world was ours
During that moment, it felt like we owned the world.
I remember
Recollection of another memory.
Hearing our hearts beat
Listening to our heartbeats synchronizing.
Together in sync
Expressing a connection through synchronized heartbeats.
And I hate myself for missing you
Feeling self-reproach for missing you.
But I hate you more
Expressing stronger negative feelings towards you for leaving.
For leaving me
Acknowledging the pain of being left and abandoned.
I put the dishes away
Completing a mundane task alone, highlighting the absence of shared responsibilities.
All by myself
Reflecting on a task done independently, emphasizing self-reliance.
I remember how you used to help me with the highest shelf
Recalling how you used to assist with tasks, indicating a shift in the relationship.
But now I'm all alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness and solitude.
Thinking you'll knock on my door
Hoping or expecting your return, metaphorically waiting at the door.
I've never had to lose someone who's meant so much before
Expressing the unique pain of losing someone significant.
I tucked your letter away
Preserving a letter from you, symbolizing the remnants of the relationship.
At the bottom of my drawer
Storing a significant item, hinting at emotional attachment.
It's just so weird to think
Finding it strange to accept the reality that you are no longer mine.
That you're not mine anymore
Expressing the difficulty of coming to terms with the end of the relationship.
So what now
Pondering the next steps or the way forward.
Well the feeling is over now
The emotional intensity is subsiding.
But my baby
Addressing the departing person with affectionate reassurance.
Please don't frown
Pleading not to be saddened by the situation.
We'll meet again eventually
Expressing hope for a future reunion.
