“Simple Together” – Feast On Scraps – 2002

You’ve been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
I can’t go to you for consolation
‘Cause we’re off limits during this transition.

This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And I can’t stop bumping into things

I thought we’d be simple together
I thought we’d be happy together
Thought we’d be limitless together
I thought we’d be precious together
But I was sadly mistaken

You’ve been my soulmate and then some
I remembered you the moment I met you
With you I knew god’s face was handsome
With you I saw fun and expansion

This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And I can’t stop dropping everything

I thought we’d be sexy together
Thought we’d be evolving together
I thought we’d have children together
I thought we’d be family together
But I was sadly mistaken

If I had a bill for all the philosophies I shared
If I had a penny for all the possibilities I presented
If I had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe

I thought we’d be genius together
I thought we’d be healing together
I thought we’d be growing together
Thought we’d be adventurous together
But I was sadly mistaken

Thought we’d be exploring together
Thought we’d be inspired together
I thought we’d be flying together
Thought we’d be on fire together
But i was sadly mistaken

    I“ve been listening to this song a couple of time in the past and crying, yelling, feeling like there“s no reason in life anymore. It feel exactly like that when we see a realationship breaking up. But life always shows us teh reason why it did and we find true happiness.
