A long time ago, a good friend of mine and I listened to a great deal of music together. We discovered countless bands, and went to several concerts.

It’s all so lost
I can’t help it. Sometime you can’t help the feelings. Sometimes denial is like trying to forcefully kick a waterfall to receding, and going back the way it came.
