I guess what we end up doing depends in if we want the "choke on our vomits to be the end". It is a song that goes straight to our feelings I must say, cause I also miss my mum specially cause they tend to die at some point and I also miss many friends, but there is not much "I" can do, everything must run its course, sometimes it is a choice to forget love and "to pretend" cause if not we choke on our own emotions. I must say its a clever song, and life "can" always start up new, so I agree its time to pretend!. But I will never forget love. I'll always appreciate it and keep on loving, cause I don't want to end choked up in my own vomit.
