Tender song that touches on the bitter-sweetness of the persona's relationship.
Well done!

Thanks, Scott.

Thanks for the nice comments, Elliot...

Which one of you two came up with these lyrics? You're both magicians, anyway, but this IS top-notch magical work:

"i can't bear to have the future... just faded photographs
a love too quickly buried with a needless epitaph"

I could take this apart and praise it until kingdom come. Thing is, this song works incredibly as a whole, as well as the sum of its parts. And you deliver it ... omg. "if I lose you, there'll be nothing left of me" ... "... just a memory" ... You are the storyteller par excellence, and you always have something incredible to tell. And what an incredible musician you really are.

Very kind of you , James...
