This song takes me back to a long drive back home from dropping off a new girlfriend I'd dated for just a few weeks. I was in the USAF in England, she was flying back home to the states. We promised to keep writing and feed the relationship from a long distance. It was 1972 way before the tech we have today. As I drove back to where I was living off base, it began to rain. It was at that exact moment I knew I'd never see her again. I cried. Through my tears and the rain on my windshield I could hardly see the road ahead. Two, maybe three letters then nothing. Thanks Cas for again capturing feelings from long ago.

[@roberthaigh3206]

I can certainly identify with this song! We are sometimes unaware of our friends' troubles, especially if they are good at disguising them. A friend of mine, who I'd known since school days, sadly took his own life. I had no idea he was so troubled. I still think of him often. A poignant song and you perform it with genuine feeling!

Truly beautiful and so painful. I do know that feeling of losing someone that maybe I could’ve saved. You captured the anguish in a beautiful song. You always find a great turn of phrase and an unexpected chord that lift it above the rest. 🎶🙌
