      Moved away from her, she broke up with me, which was fine. But, she got a new boyfriend, blocked me, and now the only way I could connect with her is through her best friend. It's sad, because when her best friend mentions me, she immediately get's defensive. No Idea if I'll ever talk with her again, but I hope I can at least once more. Glad to know more people are at least going through some of the stuff I am.

    Man, I wish more people would be able to hear your music, other than just this small corner of TH-cam. You have a way of speaking from the heart in a way that's not only relatable... but human. You sing as if you wear your heart on your sleeve, and the topics you sing come from the depth of the human heart in these modern times. I think you could genuinely help more people with your music, because of that human connection you give. Please, keep writing when your muse allows it, as you have been.

    I'm Brazilian so if I write something wrong, forgive me. I'm trying not to use translators like google. But here we go....
    The first time I heard your song I keep facing the screen for a couple of minutes. The reel keept singing and I couldn't stop thinking about an ex girlfriend. I rewatched in my head a lot of the moments we lived for 5 years of friendship and 5 months of a relationship. Today I know it was a mistake at some point but I can't decide if it was a mistake trying the relationship or just leting her go.
    She broke with me and I knew at that moment that we never would be the same again. And we nerver were. Since we broke, I never spoke to her again. Today we are both married and with a family but I miss her friendship so much sometimes.
    Thank you, my friend, for the song. I wish somehow she could know that...
