#loosing you

[tavolgisvist]

All day long I'm listening to Letting Go

and in the middle the opening riff every time I hear John's voice:

Here in some stranger's room Late in the afternoon What am I doing here at all? Ain't no doubt about it

He doesn't wait when Paul breaks into song his own lyrics:

Ah, she tastes like wine, Such a human being so divine. Oh, she feels like sun. Mother nature, look at what you've done. Oh, I feel like letting go

(and - before John begin to play Loosing You - aren't these She's A Woman chords?)

And then I see this great post with John's notes about Double Fantasy and, well, he writes on Loosing You - (afraid i'm) Losing You: [a' la 'How do you sleep' (imagine LP) + 'Thrill has Gone' - B.B. King]

I don't want to fuck.

I just can't say no, because I want you to stay.

I hate myself, my body and people touching me, but I am enduring suffering for you.

i didn’t realise how attached i am to you.

it never crossed my mind how often you are in my thoughts,

how often i daydream about seeing you,

and how much i miss you when you’re not there.

as much as i love it,it’s scary.

to know the power you now hold over me,

how easily you could break me.

i’m so in love with you it’s scary.

Andrew Garfield saying ,"I hope this grief stays with me because it's all the unexpressed love that I didn't get to tell her" about his mother passing is so gut wrenchingly beautiful because we rarely talk about the love we want to express but can't, not because you are not brave enough to say it out loud but because they are not here to listen to it anymore. Calling grief the love you never had the chance to share makes it less of a burden and more of something you want to keep and not something terrible you want to move on from or to give it to someone. I love how everything about grief comes down to "what is grief if not love persevering?"

Do you know what made this goodbye so hurtful?

That it seemed like you weren't hurt at all.
