[@samanthagracegrino1704]

I sang this song last night to my dog. She was sick but when i started singing she stood up and rested beside me. She died this morning. "I'd bottle the feeling you give me, and shelve that stuff for years to come." I felt this line so much. Thank you for making me happy, smol doggo. Ily. This song will always have a place in my heart. Thank you for this.

This was mine and my boyfriend’s song. Before we started dating i sent him this song saying how beautiful it was. But “darling I’d wait for you” became very special. For reasons we couldn’t make our relationship public yet. He passed away at the end of October from a car accident. He gave me a photo of us on my birthday and I recently took it out of the frame.. on the back he wrote “darling I’d wait for you” with a heart. I miss him every day

2022/06/24 03:25 dear stranger, this boy i'm not sure whether i still am friends with just shared this song with me. i've known him just about two-thirds of my life. he's seen me through my bad days, my good days, my failures and successes. i've known him since primary school (otherwise known as middle school). i'm listening to it now as i go along, though i won't assume you'll read everything. he's the same boy who let me in when he wanted to shut the world out so badly a few years ago. he trusted me enough to let me see all the vulnerability, that anger, hatred, despair, regret, confusion, frustration, everything. I remember talking to him daily and sending him my regards, happy thoughts, hugs and love despite being so far away from him after venturing off to secondary school. he didn't reply for about two full years. but i kept going anyway. i don't have strong support, but i know that if i were him, i'd want someone to be there for me regardless of anything. i'd want someone who'd never back away because i was upset or angry, or leave me alone when i stopped being like myself. i'd want someone to be able to see that it's not me but everything bad that was keeping me hostage in my own head that made me this way, and be the person to help me drag myself out of hell. i'm sure anyone would want that too. i remember telling him it was alright that he never responded because i understood it was tough. having to perform against every other kid in a country where academics is riddled in stigma wasn't easy. emotions everywhere, fear around the corners, and never being fulfilled in wake or sleep. wanting the ground to bury your bones because you can't deal. unable to even speak because the horrid emotions steal every word on the tip of your tongue, and incessantly wrap your mind up in drab ideas of a bleak future. he thanked me exactly once for it. then eventually, he started talking to me again, and we got to be really close. he's in a much better place now, thank goodness. and i can't be happier for him; he deserves it more than anything. we're sixteen now. i'm having the worst time of my life - it seems like every rock bottom ends up being false flooring. stress and fear has soured me so much i no longer find joy in anything. i sleep to escape but wake up feeling like i had never closed my eyes. my family and i are strangers. i'm not good enough to them, unlike my brother. i don't want to even speak to anyone. i disappear for weeks and don't make a peep. i have good friends who try to be there, but they're scared to come close because of how complicated i am, hence they fear doing something that could cause irreparable damage. i don't even feel like i can finish school and go on to junior college. i fight to get through the day as if i were fighting for my life (but in a sense, i suppose it is true). i don't know whether i am still lawyer material. i don't know what i'll do if i can't make it to junior college. i can't recall who i am anymore. before this, i sat on my bed drafting up my submissions for my backup plan. hopefully i'll get into film at a polytechnic if worst comes to worst. but a thought struck me while writing my personal statements; i have been so neglected emotionally by the people who demand the most of me. in such a way that i could claim it was middle child syndrome at work or being taken for granted. that boy had known about it for some time, and i guess all the mounting changes had really hit him too. then he sent me that little message to listen to this beautiful song because he knows how much of a literature nut i am and what a sucker i can be for solid lyrics. and suddenly, everything feels like it's going to be okay. everything will work out bit by bit, if i choose to open my eyes each morning and make good choices. when everything is collapsing on itself, my friends will be there to wave their hands no matter how far away we are and tell me it's alright and listen to how i love frogs. we'll all smile and take pictures despite our paths diverging. i'll be able to sleep knowing there is a future better than being trapped and unloved for not conforming or struggling to connect. perhaps these people won't be able to give me the moon, the stars, the skies, the sea, or all the other planets within the galaxies, but maybe it's enough that we talk to each other about our hopes and dreams. it's enough that they up late with me and tell me things i know no other soul has heard, because that to us, are entire worlds. a universe crafted in our brains using everything we've planted into the earth. i think that maybe there are no coincidences. for all the people i have given bits of my universe to, there's always someone that will return it. but they give me their all. and if that isn't someone i think i should treasure even in death, i don't know who is. cheers to you, dear stranger, and to the rest of us who continue to adore the universe in the form of other people. thank you for existing in this time and vast universe with me (and for reading this dramatic monologue of sorts). i love you, and i hope you have a wonderful life. ever-lovingly yours, jun. EDIT: 2024/03/08 happy international women's day guys 🥂 i've read the comments and thought about this every now and again, but my life got really busy so i forgot about this 😭 there's a lot that's happened since and i want anyone reading this to understand that this was more of a melodramatic procrastination writing before an exam 😅 i actually find this writing style quite cringe now but cringe is a sign of growth, yeah? i have edited it here to give a bit more context: 1. my life is turbulent but it's not that 'main-character' if you catch my drift. i have a birthday in a few weeks, and i'm still figuring things out as i go. 2. no, i'm not in love with anyone - it's just that my brain struggles to express types of emotions i feel towards others and that's what i was writing in. i actually struggle to fall IN love, which is why i tend to mess it up with other thing such as pure appreciation. but i do feel that way with almost all my closest friends. it's more of a platonic love that's very all-encompassing, but not actually romantic. just an example of the really intense feeling of 'acceptance' (?) of my closest circle of friends. maybe my vocabulary isn't specific enough or i should have made it obvious that i was more confused by my emotions and not actually in love, but i think it would have broken the illusion lol. i will tweak it, just in case anyone doesn't read this. 3. how am i doing: not great, but i'm grateful for my blessings in life. 4. i will reply to some of you lovely lot because i honestly can't fit my all my responses in this. 😭 for those of you who have commented your well wishes, thank you so much! i hope you're all doing great too!

[@rayssarodrigues170]

[@t.f.9378]

Thank u for sharing! I can't believe how mature u are at just 16. U are a beautiful person and people are so blessed to know u. I really enjoy your writing, it's amazing. I'm so happy for u that it's working out with u and him🤍God bless

[@StoriesFromTheLabyrinth]

Your words are very poetic at 16 and you are so wise. It seems that this connection you two share are as of soulmates, dancing together into the realms of the universe. The strong energies and openness you two express are beyond any normal connection. I am happy that you never gave up on him and in the end he never gave up on you either, I always felt there was something more than just "love" but I always call it "Forever" through the ups and downs you two always stand by each other and make best of every little moment that is to be unfolded in front of you. To have that person by your side can make all the little things in life so bright. These moments of the present are what we should appreciate, it all leads to the next unknown which is quite beautiful. We grow, we learn, we heal, we love and we keep going. Life is full of chances of memories, you are brave, you never allowed yourself to hold back because waiting causes delay and that delay can make you miss the chance at something great. The more time waited is time wasted, take a chance and be happy you did rather than regret you didn't, that you did and I'm proud of you for doing so. To share this time with him, friends and family is such a beautiful gift, times might be tough but that only leads to a better path, for without suffering we can never know what peace feels like. Love is the most powerful energy, it can help us all, never give up that strong heart of yours and always keep smiling. Some days it is going to rain, but once that rain has gone the sun always comes out to brighten your path. Take care, Jun. ~ wishing you and yours all the best.

This song hits hard because before the love of my life left for basic training for the military, he gave me a promise ring and said “wait for me.” I said something along the lines of “you don’t even need to ask; you know I’ll still be here.” Darling I’d wait for you, even if you didn’t ask me to.

I used to sing this song to my baby brother as lullaby, he has Asperger syndrome so he had trouble falling asleep sometimes. I loved watching him fall right to sleep. “Tie a lasso around the moon and bring it on down to you” is my favourite part, it was my way of telling him I loved him. Now when he calls me from my mom’s phone he always tells me how pretty the moon is. It’s his favourite thing. I can’t wait for him to be old enough for me to tell him all about it. My family has always had a tradition of singing unconventional lullabies, my mom used to sing “Be my baby” to me. Thank you for giving me the most beautiful lullaby to share with my brother

[@maeo1612]

I love how everyone has stories about different ways the love this song can take shape. I have one and my interpretation is that this could be sung to the soulmate we haven't yet met. Sometimes we desire a connection so bad that we wanted to offer everything we could give. You'll have that but you wouldn't be losing anything in giving them the universe, because they will give you their's.

[@hanesol9354]

J's lullaby and how it helped me understand something about why I am the way I am. I feel like the reason why this song gives me comfort is because it understands how I will treat someone if I love them. I could give them everything even if it could leave me empty, and that's really true and became so toxic for me. I could be easily blinded, get hurt, and manipulated if I get too attached. That's the reason why I'll try to detach from a person if I notice something wrong even if it's the smallest thing, because I have to protect me, my worth, and I don't deserve those possible treatment :). I developed a toxic trait when I meet new people, I will find a way to find fault with them to realize a reason not to get too attached. Someday, I hope I'll find that person who appreciates me, consistent and treat me the way I deserve to be treated. I've been protecting myself for years, I hope they'll succor me and let me feel that it's okay to protect the agitation of possibly hurting again, because they'll always have my back. PS. To those people that I treated right, loved and gave service. Please know that it's true and genuine. I'd bottle the feelings you gave me, shelve that stuff for years to come

[@poudeljamuna]

❤️🌻

[@TriangleAndTheSage]

This is too specific about someone I know that's why I'm writing. When you try to run away to protect yourself, please keep a space for error, that sometimes what you're thinking maybe be wrong. Don't run from attachment because it's just the way you are, suppressing it will change you to someone you're not, just learn to be in place where you make a calculated guess that you'll be okay, & if it goes wrong, it goes wrong. Hurt is part of life, & love. Looking for a person without any "flaws" or someone who doesn't make mistakes can leave you in a cycle of loop & in the end you'll find you lost things just because you saw problems, pain & sadness as something that is alien to us. Life's not scripted, but we can guide it with our actions & conscience, & what's not in our control, we leave it be.

[@boneetoflakes]

He told me he wasn't really good in relationships so no matter how much he hurt me, I was still willing to stay to teach him how to love. Sometimes he would do things like saying to others that he's single and not in a relationship (in reality he is in one with me) and I talked to him about it but he still does the same thing. That is when I realize he didn't respect me as a person but I still stayed '). I even took the initiative to talk to one of his bestfriends and ask if he's actually like that or what. His bestfriend eventually talked to him about me and him because she told me she wanted to "help" us but instead of trying to fix it, he decided to break up with the reason "you deserve better" - until today I'm still not sure whether his bestfriend wanted this to happen because she didn't even come to me and talked about it or apologize for f"cking us up. I didn't really hold on to him even though I really wanted to be with him because if someone truly loves their significant other, they will be willing to change themselves for them, init? I am a possessive person but I never controlled him, I tried talking to him when he's at his lowest (and he always ignores me for other people) and I actually cared when he got sick. But when it comes to me, he didn't even bother. He just disappears. He was willing to go on for days when we're talking about him but when it is about me, he would talk in an obvious "un-interested" way. But yea, I was willing to give him my everything. I even had a ring custom-made with his name on it ready to give it to him on 22/2/22 but I guess at least I still get to keep it? 😆 But then this song's title, "J's Lullaby" (because my name starts with J as well) reminds me that there's someone out there who's willing to "wait for you even if you didn't ask me to", "tie a lasso around the moon and bring it on down to you" and even "give you the sun if you'd ask me to". It gives me hope that someone will eventually step into my life and treat me the way I truly deserve. I never had friends that I could express myself to because they met me through my "happy side" and if I were to talk about this side of me they would say I'm dramatic so listening to music was the only escape for me. Thank you for this song Delaney! ❤️

[@franco7091]

I'm sorry you had to go through that... But hey, in an optimistic light... maybe it's a good experience to help you be stronger (which you probably already thought of) But also, yeah... I understand from personal experience as well that it sucks when your partner just doesn't show as much interest in you or the relationship... :') I wish you all the best for your future (⊃｡•́‿•̀｡)⊃ Never lose the spark of being a caring and romantic person Stay safe and blessed ^^

[@Plettt]

damn you really loved him that much

[@1hana798]

I wish I could embrace you but words are all I have so I really hope you find the one you deserve and who deserves you♡

[@Blueeyeznblonde]

I'm going through something like that too.

[@Momo-jn6mo]

Omg why do feel like I'm talking to myself I literally went through the same thing!! I never wanted to breakup with him infact settled for the barest of minimum and he still decided to leave me saying I deserved better when all i ever wanted was him. I hope you've healed from what was in the past! 🌟

[@ezzziniz9260]

Makes me cry every time. I always have so much love to give and I'm so excited to give it to other people. Listening to this makes me happy in indescribable ways

[@M1Renzz]

I've been playing this song every night before sleep for 4 months. It's not just J's lulluby, it also became mine. Thanks for this comforting song!

[@saturnsring]

When I have panic attacks or just depression episodes that last days on end, i sing this song to myself and it actually puts me to sleep. I’ve always been scared to listen to it for the reason that I don’t want to cry, but sometimes that’s all you need is to cry. I’m proud to say my own embrace is finally enough to put me to sleep at night:)

[@fallen-saints]

i’ve been feeling anxious, confused, and also questioning my self worth all the time these days. i feel like no matter how much i do for others, it won’t ever be enough. i just need to feel like i’m being accepted and that i’m enough. everyone keeps telling me that i’m enough and i’m worthy of love and happiness but sometimes the way they treat me say the otherwise. i never say anything about it because i’m too afraid to express my feelings. i’m afraid that they’ll blame me for feeling something that i never even wanted to have. but this song gave me comfort. i always sleep with this song playing on my earphone. it feels like someone actually singing me lullabies and hugging me.

[@austindragovich3077]

I am sorry you are feeling this way ☹️ Nayla, I know what it feels like to feel like you’ll never be enough and that it doesn’t seem to matter what you do for others. Here’s the thing: if you keep doing things for others instead of for yourself, you’ll never feel like you’ve done enough. What do YOU need? What do you know to be true? Speak that. Tell the truth. If you ground everything you say in the truth, there’s nothing anyone else can say to you that isn’t just an arbitrary opinion that doesn’t matter. Think about what the best thing you could do is and then go do it, or make & execute a plan to do it. Treat yourself like you are someone you are responsible for helping. Do only those things that you could speak of with honor. Be true to yourself and your truth. Make one small improvement to your life each day and each day will begin to be a little better. Do things that bring you a sense of meaning. Do not pursue being happy. Happiness is a byproduct of living a meaningful life. I just threw a LOT of stuff at you, but hopefully at least some of it resonates with you and can help you. I hope you find yourself ❤️

[@go_soogyeong]

I always play this song while reading anything sad or emotional. It's beautifully saddening yet so comforting to listen while reading ❤

[@christianpolastry2271]

i randomly found this song on spotify and it instantly made its way to hold a special place in my heart. it’s so heartwarming cathartic, it has such a huge emotional impact. i can’t wait to see what else you release!!

[@AS-pn5zl]

Love of my life sent me this. I listen every time I miss him. & just cry. How grateful I am to love and be loved❤ ✝️

[@anessa9187]

“… to heard the whole sky in my arms, and release it when you’re mine” ughhhh my heart

[@crazylove1977]

This song is representation of someone so special to me. It’s feels like him. It’s him in a form of song, the form of music! I can feel his presence listening to this

[@TDruzhok]

I’m so stressed out and this helped me cry and relieve some emotions (I usually really struggle with that). Thank you

[@ki11girl39]

I play this song to get my baby to fall asleep every night , truly beautiful

[@mc16664]

one of my favorite pass times when listening to pretty songs like this is to read the good feelings it gives people. i didn’t think i would find myself commenting something on one. i have known this boy for 6 years, we talked in a romantic way off and on the entire time. there’s always been such strong feelings and a weird pull back to each other no matter how bad things got. i would give and do anything for him. our hearts have always been connected in some way. there’s so much history and love and emotions. i don’t think he could ever understand. 💜

[@kainpepetwoohoo]

I honestly dont know if i love them or anything, i've been so confused and upset everytime they leave me. I get all excited when they chat me, I act like a clingy puppy around them. This song perfectly describes my feelings for them, i wasnt really shown affection or compassion when i was young (im deprived till now). I cant tell the difference between romantic and platonic attraction, I get scared because i often describe myself falling inlove as a way of an unhealthy coping mechanism. This song is really comforting for me, they recently lost someone and I'm comforting them and supporting them. If they ever read this, Hey. My rants in twitter are directed to you, though i have no ill intention for you and i wish you the best in life :) As long as i'm here, You'll have someone that will be proud of your achievements. Every single thing you do, i'll be here to help you with it. Even if you slowly drift away from me, I'll be waiting. I'll always care for you, Even if you dont feel the same. You dont know how much i've waited to say this, i wish you to stay safe. -Eggi

[@neptune7393]

this song feels like one of those songs you hum to your significant other as you fall asleep in eachothers’ arms :) i hope one day i can make that happen for my special someone

[@evemusicara4772]

How am I only finding this gem now… definitely added to my wedding playlist

[@andrewp1853]

I hope she (my ex) sees this one day, but i remember when she played me this song in the car on the way to her house. The way she looked at me at the stop light with her arms around mine, and the kiss that we had was just like a scene from a movie. I just want her to know if she ever sees this I love you with all my heart Marie. I’m sorry for us both losing each other but both of us need to mature. I hope we get back together one day and we get to play this song at least one last time together (my hopes as a helpless romantic). - Love Drew, te quiero mi corazón

[@Theaudacioussoum]

Never love anyone but yourself as much as this song

[@nabeelabhabha7318]

my cat passed away yesterday. I found her when she was 8 weeks old, abandoned by her mother in the street. She was barely alive. She became my best friend, the sun in my life. She was attacked by dogs. Her heart failed when they sedated her to take xrays. She's left a chasm in me. All the love i have for her - im not sure what to do with it or where to put it all. I hope she's resting peacefully now. She's been through so much and she fought with every little bit of her body. I hope she wakes up to birds chirping (she used to love laying in the morning sun and watching the birds in the garden skip from tree to tree). I love you biscuit, my whole universe. You were love and light enfolded.

[@Star-LitTarot]

I fell in love with a person whose name starts with J and have always associated this song with him. Especially the line, “Darling, I’d wait for you even if you didn't ask me to.” He moved away without saying bye (or anything), but in the same city, we have zero contact. I have an intense feeling that he and I are not done, and he will return someday. Until then, I will listen to this song every night and fall asleep. I miss him 🦋

[@biscuits._.8197]

This song reminds me of my mother's voice when I was young. She'd tell me how she loved me in so many different ways as she loves poetry and literature, expressing love through unique ways. We're not close anymore but I'd give everything to get those times back to listen to her soft voice filled with affection. Things are complicated and I am unable to rekindle my relationship with my mother. It deeply saddens me and impacts me when ever I think about my mother. This song easily makes me sob like the child inside me is morning the loss of my relationship to my mother. I wish I could go back and cherished those moments but things will inevitably happen and end up the way it is.

[@giannjustineventura1676]

discovered this song last month and it's so beautiful and comforting. sneaked out of the house at midnight to have a midnight stroll w myself enjoying the moon gleam and stars while playing this song. it was one of the most surreal moments i have had. also, this song is like the feeling of falling in love... 🤍

[@calicojellyza]

I am never ever getting over how beautiful this song is. I will cry every single time.

[@dinomimi7730]

HOW IS THIS SO UNDERRATED THIS IS LITERALLY MASTERPIECE

[@WihelminaMaria]

What a song! Sounds like me listening to myself telling him how much I adore him in the "dagirlaitness". Darlin', no matter what or who you are you know that I do love you. Now and then it'll always you. ALWAYS WILL 🍀

[@laurenshaffer4559]

this song is just so peaceful and beautiful! delaneys voice is so smooth and satisfying to listen toooooo

[@laurynvalencia2773]

I clicked on this video because of the title of the song, Me and my boyfriend have been apart for 5 months with no communication. He’s been away at basic training and I wish I found this song sooner so he truly knew how much I love him and I would wait no matter how long, just to be in his arms again. I finally get to see him in a few days.

[@nistha3174]

This is sooo soothing and calming 🤍this is one of that kinda of song that makes you feel as if you have a protective barrier around you.

[@lita-c2t]

I played this once for my dog, Mosquito. In April, He’d been attacked by another dog and was in a horrible condition, I thought he wouldn’t make it, It pained me to see him in such a horrible state. I begged the world to give me more time and one day, he was suddenly just better, Stumbling around and wagging his tail happily . Thankfully he survived and gave me four more months with him. I’ll forever be grateful to have had him. I’m glad he did give me more time, I’ll forever be sorry for not spending every minute of my time with him. He deserved the world and deserved more than I ever gave him. My sweet sun baby. I’ll miss you my squito. I’ll forever remember your big teary eyes. The way you would jump on my lap at any chance you got. Sneaking into the house just to look for me. Rubbing your face against mine as you Rolled onto your back once you fell into your deep sleepy little slumber. Feeling your heartbeat against my chest as you slept. I love you so much. And I’m so sorry for not being there for your last moments on earth. ❤️

[@lllllllll1150]

Listening to it at night or in the afternoon is fine, but have you listened to it in the early morning? It hits different

[@loey_2]

I have been listening to this song for 2 years, and it helps me get through my heartbreak.

[@anastasiaelizbarashvili8685]

I would like to come on here and talk about my appreciation for this song. I am often unable to sleep either because of stress or uncomfortable positions and this song has helped me numerous times, I fall asleep so fast. Its comforting, calming, soothing and just the best lullaby I have ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world, it is really a blessing 🩵

[@yveercross3580]

This is my 3 year old nephews favorite song for bed, he put it on himself and had me sing it to him and he snuggled up to me and went right to sleep. Love that little guy.

ฉันฟังเพลงนี้ทุกวันเพลงนี้กลายเป็นเพลงโปรดของฉัน มีผู้ชายคนนึงส่งเพลงนี้ให้ฉันฟัง ตอนนั้นเราสองคนรักกันมาก แต่ตอนนี้เราต้องจากกันเพราะตัวฉันเอง แต่ฉันก็ยังคงฟังเพลงนี้ตลอด ฟังมันทุกวัน ถ้าเขายังฟังเหมือนกันถ้าเขาเห็นข้อความนี้ หนูรักพี่มากๆเลยนะคะ พี่คือคนที่ทำให้หนูมีความสุขแบบที่ที่ไม่เคยมีเลยพี่เพชร มันเป็นความรักที่หนูเริ่มต้นใหม่ไม่ได้และเวลาที่เหลือสุดท้ายของในชีวิตอยู่ หนูอยากมีพี่อีกครั้ง ไม่รู้ว่าพี่ต้องการหนูมั้ย แต่หนูยังต้องการพี่ หนูรักพี่มากจริงๆนะ แต่มันคงไม่พอสำหรับการแก้ไข้ทุกอย่าง แต่หนูก็ยังคงอยู่ตรงนี้ตลอด จนหนูจากโลกนี้ไป ขอโทษที่โกหกทุกอย่าง แต่สิ่งที่ทำหนูมีเหตุผล แต่หนูก็รักพี่มาก หนูคิดถึงพี่ทุกวันเลยพี่เพชร คิดถึงทุดช่วงเวลาเลย ร้องไห้ทุกวัน แหละพี่ยังคงเป็นคนโปรดของหนูตลอดเลยนะ พี่แก้มแมวของหนู...

[@aleahpopowich2520]

So I work at a daycare, and we have an autistic little girl who isn't even two years old yet. She didnt talk and was very slow to trust, especially with certain people because her older brother (more severe autism) would be really rough on her and loud which scared her. She didn't want to eat at home or daycare, had other health problems still being diagnosed, and lost a lot of weight. Finally we started to see a little bit of progress, she ate a little here and even started saying words and signing. More and more she improved, but one day she stopped, started taking steps back, and breaking down mentally. I scooped her up with her favorite blanket and sang this to her while rocking, it worked well. She started to trust me that day...I will never forget how we connected and both felt good and safe with each other. I'm so proud of her and I can honestly say I'd do anything for her, she is a blessing and made so much progress with me and other people. I got her comfortable enough to where she'll sit in my lap and play or let me hold her, occasionally she chooses me over others. She's like my baby in a way... Unfortunately doctor's have found masses around her stomach that are likely cancer, recently they found new ones in both of her intestines...meaning if it is cancer it's spreading, and at a decent rate... They're gonna be doing a scan in a couple of days to see if it is and how bad it is... The worst part is I had a dream about a month or two ago about the same exact thing happening. Every event and all of the news at the same time, all of the same details, and devastating puzzle pieces falling into place... In the dream she passes in about a month and a half, maybe two months. (Around her 2nd birthday) Everything I've had dreams like this they've come true...so I constantly have the feeling that we're gonna lose her... It's so hard on her parents and the daycare. I'll be honest...she really stole my heart...if I could give up everything to make things better for her I would. The lyrics have a whole new meaning now and will forever be my song to her...

I love this song so much. It feels like a warm and tender hug from a happy memory from a good time in your life. She sounds like she’s singing it to me softly as I fall asleep, so beautiful :,)

this is exactly how much i love him.

[@doopdedoop13]

I have been with my partner for 7 years. We are engaged to be married and recently I found out I have a long term illness and it was so hard at first because i have always been a strong person (im a Capricorn female) and he has always been my alfoof funny man (libra) but when he realized I needed stability and strength from elsewhere he stepped up to the plate. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about how I know its so against his nature to be the strong stoic one but here he is. Going to every doctors appointment, reminding me to take my meds when im in a brain fog and treating me gently. This song describes how I feel for him. I never thought i could love him more than I did and I was so very wrong.

[@sylviashah12]

Im usually a lowkey listener but I just wanted to say this today, I've been listening to this since the beginning of when it was newly posted, i honestly loved it so much I wanted to gatekeep it for forever, but I hope this gets the hype it deserves.

my ex gf dedicated this song to me in 2022 and listening to this song brings comfort and sadness all at the same time. she was so sweet to me but I realized later that she was love bombing me and then one random night she broke up with me using the excuse that people around her are homophobic and that she needs to focus on her own mental health. I was willing to stay with her to help with her mental health but it’s not that easy when we’re 3,000 miles apart. all I wanted to do was see her and hug her and comfort her. hearing this song brings back every emotion I felt with her. the screenshots she would take of me on facetime made me realize how pretty I am and I thank her for that. I still love her a little bit no matter how much a say I don’t. my friends and cousins say that it’s bad for me to say that but idc at this point. I miss you Kira ❤
