      It happens. And even those who make exceptional music are not an exception for heartbreak.
      If there was no heartbreak, these kind of songs wouldn't have been made to start with.

    It's Grow As We Go. And it's definitely heartbreaking, it's making people everywhere cry.

    My (now) husband and I were in engaged in 1984/85 when I realized I wasn’t ready to get married. I broke his heart. We went our separate ways, married other people, had kids…and 23 years later, through a random e-mail, we found each other again. Found out our first marriages were dissolved and the rest is history. We needed that 23 year break - we grew and I would t change a thing! We’ve now been married 13 years and now I understand when people say “I’m married to my best friend.” Truly, I am. You just never know. ♥️

      hiatus mode Maybe its best if we don’t know. Even though they hurt ben, people would probably witch-hunt them, relentlessly attack them, and more, which most people don’t deserve. It seems that ben doesn’t have any serious ill will toward them, so that whole thing would end really badly lmao.
