You reach a point where nothing means anything...
Your mind stops questioning,
but your heart still aches.
You have no energy to rebuild, and maybe you don’t want to..
Because sometimes, pain is the only thing left,and your stubborn soul refuses to let it go.
You're just here, aching,
hoping that, eventually, everything will make sense on its own.
Don't Cry—Two Versions, Two Souls..
I’ve been listening to these songs for two years now, and I still can’t move on!! Ever had a song completely wreck you? Well, Don’t Cry by Guns N’ Roses did it twice. Two versions, same name, same story—but they hit so differently. And I feel both. Every. Single. Time.
I first heard the Alternative Version, and the very first line hit me like a truck. "If we could see tomorrow, what are your plans?" It made me stop and think—if I could see my future, would I still be this lost? Would I still be stuck in my own head? Would I finally have answers? And when he says, "Knowing your love's decided, and all love is real," it messes me up. Is love really the main point of life? Is it what makes us want to live ?and feel safe & alive?
And the pain in this version—it’s not just about heartbreak. It’s about realizing something heartbreaking. "I thought I could live in your world as years all went by." That’s when it gets too real... The feeling of trying—really trying—to be part of someone's world, only to realize you never truly belonged there. And when he says,
"My heart won’t deny you. So many seem so lonely with no one left to cry to," I feel that. He’s letting go, but not for himself—for the other person. Because real love isn’t just about having someone, it’s about wanting them to be happy, even if it’s not with you and the fact ( WORST FACT EVERRR ) that YES! Some people have no one.....
Then there’s the Original Version. And this one? This one is different. Softer. Warmer. It’s love, even in goodbye. The first line? "Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes." That’s the kind of love that sees you, that notices when you’re hurting without you even saying a word. He doesn’t want them to hold their pain alone. He just wants them to talk. To be heard. To be understood.
And the way he holds on—"Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye." That one sentence carries everything. It’s like he knows they have to part, but he just wants one last moment before it’s over. It’s not bitter. It’s not angry. It’s just love. And the most heartbreaking part????
"There's a heaven above you, baby." Like, no matter how painful this is, there’s something bigger, something watching over us. Maybe love never really dies—it just shifts, moves, finds another way to exist through this heaven
And that’s why these songs will never leave me. It’s genius. Two songs, same story, yet completely different perspectives. One is holding on, the other is realizing. One is still soft, even when it’s over. The other is questioning everything, wondering if it was ever real.
I still listen and I still feel everything. This is what music is supposed to do. This is why it’s a masterpiece.
I’ve had thousands of conversations with you in my mind, loving the version of you that no longer exists. In these conversations, you’re still the person I once knew—warm, caring, and easy to talk to. We talk about things we never got the chance to say out loud, and somehow, everything feels right again. In this other world, we exist in a space where time doesn’t change us. It's a place where the version of you I love is still alive, untouched by the passing of time or the distance between us.
عيناه تتلألآن كالنجوم، تُمسيانني أمنيةً، أمنيةً واحدة، وهي أن أكون سماءً تحتويهما...
تُعالج ندبات قلبي، هل أتوصل كيميائيًا إلى هذه الوصفة يومًا؟ أأحتفظ بدواء لكل مستحيل؟ تختفي، وأرى قلبي صالحًا مجددًا، جديدًا كأنني بعمر الثالثة – ربما ليس أكثر.تكبر تلك الطفلة بداخلي، وهي تحبك.
لا، لا تدرك ذلك حتى الآن، لكنها لن تجد مصطلحًا آخر أقوى لوصف تلك الرابطة بينكما. ستتمنى لو تظل حولك دهرًا، وستتذكر أن لا دهر يسعُ ما تود.
تنظر إلى السماء، وإلى عينيك... علامات استفهام، وتعجب، وإجابة واحدة: القمر!
ستمنحه قلبها، سيظل دهورًا، يضيء جنبًا إلى جنب مع عينيك، ولعينيك.
level: impossible
Imagine being loved the way you love
