Someone Like You

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah

You'd know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I begged
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Nothing is new with the love story behind Adele's hit "Someone Like You". It has the same plot where two person meets, they fall in love for an undetermined length of time, one leaves the other for some tragic reason, then the one left ends up having self-pity.

Songs like this may sound too dramatic for some but there are still those who fall for these depressing and heart wrecking songs. Why? Because not only in movies and songs that this tragic love story can be seen but it also happens in reality. And because of the simple reason that deep down we relate to them.   

"Move on"... easy to be said but most of the time it is difficult to put into action. As the song narrates, it is usually easy for us to wish for the best to the person we had loved. But there is this feeling inside our hearts that hopes for things like being not forgotten by the person who left us or even the hope for a second chance.

Why is moving on difficult for some? Is it because they have loved the other person too much that they cannot let go of the feeling even if the relationship is already over? Is it because of the things that  weren't clearly discussed during the break-up or what is most commonly called as "closure"? Whatever reason might be, I now believe that relationships come to an end because each of the persons involved in that relationship is given the chance to find his/her "God's best". In God's time, each of us is bound to meet a person who He thinks is the best for us.
