    I spent 7 years in love with my best friend. I watched him love a girl who didn’t appreciate him at all. But I still smiled and gave him advice when he asked. I still congratulated him on his engagement even though my heart was breaking on the inside. So I moved on. I tried to ignore the pain or the butterflies he gave me. Tried to give my bf my full attention. Tried throwing myself into work. Then like something out of a fantasy that I would run to. We both became single at the same time. And he kissed me. 2 years later. He still my best friend....and I’m so happy to wake up every morning. I don’t regret the years of pain. He was my best friend and we both had our own lessons to learn about ourselves so we could be the best selves we could be for each other

      dear , this just happened to me this year , after 37 almost 38 years. and on my part 2 divorces on her part a failed marriage. all happened because of a face book friend request she made to me.. never give up on true love.. sometimes it takes a man a while to realize where he is meant to be..

    We never fall in love with 'the wrong person'...We just fall in love at the wrong time. Love is never wrong, at times it just arrives at the wrong time and leaves us better and shattered at the same time.

    This song reminds me of the guy I met online. We talked through calls every night, we watched movies through an app. We shared random stories, asked each other how was our day went and we get to know each other. I definitely enjoyed talking with him! I am genuinely happy but then one night, I found out that he already had a girlfriend. I was so confused and sad because I knew I had to do the right thing ㅡ no matter how much I wanted to reply to his chats and to continue our talks I knew I had to stop. It wasn't easy because I got used to him. It wasn't easy to follow your brain while your heart is refusing. The part of the song where "In a different place and time. Maybe in another life. I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked. We never get the chance to try and what makes it worse is you would have loved me if you met me first" hits different. I'm sure we would have worked if you just met me first but fate isn't that fair to us so I guess no matter how hard it is, we have to say goodbye. Thank you for giving me your time every night till morning. Thank you for the trust. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy life and to take a break from academics. You're not just a stranger to me anymore. I'm hurt but I never regret meeting you cause I can definitely say that once in my life, you had made me soo happy and for that I'm thankful ❤

      Why didn't you communicate with him? Just genuine interest. Maybe he misses you too but didn't have the courage to reach out to you.
      If you're fine now, I'm sorry for the confusion this may cause. If you're fine, rather not reach out. Your heart mustn't get broken twice by the same guy.
      Have a nice dayy :)

    Lyrics.
    Why do you look at me like that?
    Your eyes saying things that they can't take back
    Feels good, feels right, it don't help
    Every night when the quiet gets loud
    Hate that I know what you're doin' right now
    Your arms around someone else
    Every time I'm next to you
    I swear that you can feel it too
    How long can we do this to ourselves?
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    I can't even count all the times I've thought
    About the line I'd never cross
    But I've crossed that line in my head
    I can't steal you from somebody else
    Just to have you to myself
    My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    I'm not hangin' on to hope
    If you do or if you don't
    I don't ever wanna know for sure
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    'Cause you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    Oh, you would have loved me
    If you met me first

    Two years ago I started dating my best friend. I never thought it would happen. He would always say he wasn't looking for a relationship (it made me upset because I had already fallen in love with him). Then this one summer we stopped hanging out like before and I thought he hated me becasue he started to talk to someone else. Plus, everytime we talked he would mention this person. It hurt me. But I would rather have him be happy. I started talking to someone else too...thing is...I could never get him off my mind. Summer ended and fall came. We had a friendsgiving and before I went home, he gave me a letter. I read it and in it it said he had fallen in love with me. I later found out that the reason he stopped hanging out with me was becasue he was getting confused at what he was feeling towards me. He didn't know what he was feeling haha. But he was talking to that other person to figure it out (lol he's such a dork)
    We've been friends for about 8+ years and on Nov. 19 we have officially been dating for two years. 💗
    I truly love him.

      this is baloney. People shouldn't stay with someone they're unhappy with. Shouldn't stay with someone they're not at their best with. Just saying. You shouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't have the guts to follow their heart and be happy. In the long run it's what's best for everyone too. It's not the 1800s. He's also being deceitful. Imagine being his gf/wife!! Just imagine he's out with some other pretty young lady and tells her I would basically rather be with you! Meanwhile she probably thinks she's with the true love man of her dreams. smh Someone much better will come along for you soon. Good luck : )

She is the most amazing person to ever walk on this plant and I hope she gets everything she deserves because without her for even that brief moment I honestly don't know if I would be here. I highly doubt she will ever see this. But I love you with every fiber in my being and I'll always be here if you ever need anything.

    This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard. It is like it was written for me with the words I have been thinking. I am head over heels in love with the girl that is meant to be my soulmate. And she sadly didn't meet me first. She is with someone who does love her and she is happy. So I will never cross the line but i have crossed it 1000 times in my head. Every night I pray that somehow she will find her way to me. What hurts the most is that I swear she can feel it whenever I am next to her. Maybe one day. But until that day, I will just keep praying.

    Happened to me, my fiancé was someone I meet in college my first day and we hung out at school Becoming good friends. I was in a relationship with another guy and he knew and respected it. When I broke up my relationship during my summer vacation from College. No one knew not even my friend who had recently moved away to a different college in a different place. Fast forward to the beginning of the school year and my friend messaged me and asked how things were going and managed to ask about the guy I was seeing. He found out we weren’t together and jumped to the chance, 3 years later and here we are about to get married this summer!

    I met my soulmate when we were both in unhappy relationships. He consoled me every time cried, I gave him advice so he could try and salvage his engagement. We both convinced eachother we were nothing more than friends for years, I pretended seeing him wasn't the best part of my day, I pretended he didn't excite me and make me smile. Long story short, we've been together for over 2 years now and I'm grateful for him every single day...this song reminds me of the heartache I felt and reminds me how lucky I am that we ended up together.

We don't fall in love with the wrong person, we fall at the wrong time.... I had to let him go for his good coz there's no future for him with me.... Plus, my bf is a good person.... I don't regret loving them both.... I'm just happy that I found such pure love from two different people and the worst thing is, I had to break my bestfriend's heart....

    It was my first day doing an internship at a lawfirm. It was his as well. We clicked instantly and got to know each other so well. I fell madly in love with him. We were both single but I had just got out of an abusive relationship and wasn’t ready to start dating again. Soon after he started dating a girl he went to school with whom he’s been with for little over a year. We still talk quite frequently and I swear every time we look at eachother he can feel the sparks too. But i’m not a home wrecker, so I keep my distance and listen to sad songs like this.

    This hits home.. I met a guy.. after a while he became more and more like my best friend.. we were together all the time.. he had a girlfriend at the time so when we hung out she was there took half the time.. after a while I slowly started to fall for him more.. after a while his girlfriend and I became closer and she was like an older sister to me. One day she got super sick.. no one really knew what was wrong but they had to do surgery.. and it was a pretty risky surgery and no one thought she would survive.. so she started saying her goodbyes.. she came to him and I and had this talk... “I can see what you two have is special.. don’t let me ruin that.. you two belong together you both love each other and I can see that I’m not sure if I have much longer after this surgery but I want you two to be happy.. so if you guys want to give it a try go ahead.” Thankfully she made it through surgery.. while she was away him and I started talking and getting closer. Eventually she came back into his life and was basically like “it’s either her or me” he chose me.. I was so happy but she wasn’t.. we dated for about a week and after a while I found out that she had been talking to him behind my back.. making cute little dates and stuff.. he came up to me one day and said “hey, look I’ve been thinking about the decision I made a while back about picking between you two.. idk what to do” anyway.. he chose her.. it would always be her.. sometimes I wonder what it would be like if her and I swapped places.. Him and I don’t talk anymore but Ik he’s happy..

    I just now heard this song. I met the love of my life junior year of high school(2016). With how many problems I had at home and with family, she was my escape. She put a smile on my face when things weren’t going good. We made each other promises like loving each other forever. We graduated together and it all seemed like a love story you see in a movie. I moved cities to go to school and in search of a better life because I grew up poor. We tried the long distance thing and it worked for a while until it didn’t. We broke up in 2017 then 10 months later we got back together but nothing was the same. I didn’t feel she loved me anymore. We broke up in 2018 and ever since then I have a hole in my heart and every girl i meet i compare them to her and they have never won. Been single for damn near 4 years now but I just know its not a good idea. But I did promise her I’d love her forever..

    This is a beautiful song, but hit's so hard all the same.
    I had feelings for someone for many years, but always kept my distance, as they had someone else, until one day they opened up to me, wasn't happy in their relationship, and the partner was acutally abusive. I tried to help, and we got super close, and we'd play this song to each other, along with others, and we knew if we met first, we'd be great together. But in the end she struggled to see a way out of her relationship, and we fell apart, and i still don't understand why she wouldn't let me help her, and she deserves so much more than her current situation.
    I just hope she reaches out again to me soon.

    Man, this song used to be my jam. I was so in love. I found my partner in life. My soulmate. But she had someone else, strung me along and it was honestly the most painful thing ive ever experienced in 30 years of living. Everyday at 10pm I still wait for that apology call. Instead, I take a shot and go to bed.

    Been in love with my friend for longer than I can remember. He loves me, is always there for me. We've cried over being hurt, laughed about our flaws, spent hours talking about our past, how unique our friendship is and yes flirted. In the end we talk about the people in our lives and leave the flirting to just that flirting. I always listen about the girlfriends who treat him bad but he just can't leave because they are gorgeous...hot! Maybe one day I'll just tell him how I really feel. Till then, I'll keep smiling when he says " you're the best"

    I love these songs because they give me a reminder. So many girls I’ve felt this way about. I never had the courage to tell some of them how I really felt about them and the ones I did tell just told me that we weren’t possible. From those experiences I have learned that I just have to let them go but every single one is harder than the last and it doesn’t help that I am the definition of a nice guy.

    Hits right, dead center. Met her through work, she was amazing, like someone I'd never met before. Everything about her was special. She couldn't see it though what an amazing person she was. She fell for someone else though, but I just couldn't stay away from someone so special. She wasn't treated the way she should be, she deserved the moon and stars, but all she got was being controlled and it killed me. She was forbidden to talk or even text me. I'd never ever want to see her sad. We felt the vibe too between us, but never reacted cause she was with someone else and that's not something I would ever do. See her everyday but it kills me that we're not together cause that would be magical. But if or when we do end up together she will see me for who I am and us for who we are, and she'll be my Queen forever. Always! It's the Hope that actually kills me everyday.

    If you met me first [Lyrics]
    Why do you look at me like that?
    Your eyes saying things that they can't take back
    Feels good, feels right, it don't help
    Every night when the quiet gets loud
    Hate that I know what you're doin' right now
    Your arms around someone else
    Every time I'm next to you
    I swear that you can feel it too
    How long can we do this to ourselves?
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    I can't even count all the times I've thought
    About the line I'd never cross
    But I've crossed that line in my head
    I can't steal you from somebody else
    Just to have you to myself
    My heart don't wanna hear me tell the truth
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    I'm not hangin' on to hope
    If you do or if you don't
    I don't ever wanna know for sure
    In a different place and time
    Maybe in another life
    I'll bet that baby you and I would have worked
    We never get the chance to try
    And what makes it worse
    Is you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    'Cause you would have loved me
    If you met me first
    Oh, you would have loved me
    If you met me first
