About This Quote
Some people, no matter how much they love others, will never be able to express their feelings fully. Others will be able to read between the lines and know what is going through the other person’s mind. And still others will never truly understand the other person. Sometimes it is better not to try to understand someone else because you might not like what you find. This poem touches on the idea that someone who has fallen out of love with someone they once loved will always remember them through their music.
