An introduction....

Carrie Bradshaw, I'd like you to meet Patty Smyth (Scandal).

One of the articles that Carrie wrote on the tv series "Sex in the City" posed the question - can you get to your future when your past is present?
Lately someone from my past has been invading my thoughts and dreams. I'm not sure why, or how to proceed. Do I call him? Do I go see his band? Do I dedicate this song to him?

Goodbye to You - Scandal

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by "I feel it too"
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Goodbye baby
So long darling
Goodbye to you

I'm sensing there is quite a story behind this post. I love that song because it is so upbeat, but I never paid attention to the words before. The lyrics are really a mis-match to the tempo and rhythm I think.

Without knowing the back story, I'd say move on ....

I hope you figure out the right thing to do. {{{Hugs}}}
