I Will Take As Many Words As I Want To Write This Story

[b]Unrequited Love and Regrets[/b]



There is a moment in this game where this song is triggered. When I reached it I stopped and let it loop 5 or so times. Maybe more. It is one that has always moved me to some emotion. Often to tears so tissues need to be near. Perchance to a state of pensive reflecting; a realization at how fragile life, and love, are. And the same realization of love lost; an acceptance of a condition we either let happen or could not control.

I grieve, silently, for those who have love, or COULD have love in their lives. Real, honest feelings from another that is- and they let it slip away for whatever reason. That is one of the saddest of the human tragedies. Usurping the death of another at times as part of US dies in this process. We may even lose the capacity and propensity to love another and be loved in return.

I believe that is Ivory Joe hunter in the background piano. Ivory Joe's sound defined him as a musician. No one played like him! And no one has since.

I choose this video as it's a static image of the game- so no spoilers. Everyone that has played Infinite NEEDS to play both parts of Burial at Sea as they are two of the best add ons-ever! COD maps are nothing compared to this.

To those with Shiny Happy Lives you may as well move on. This song will mean nothing to you . "She"-and "He" in the title are interchangeable. To those that have experienced a broken heart- or may let a broken heart happen; possibly unknowingly, listen and listen well. This may well apply to you someday.

There is a sadness in that.

Patsy cline stirs emotions in me.
@Fungirlmmm She could cut to the core of our heart and soul so easily. Touch us and soothe us in ways we did not knew we needed.

Thank you for the link E. Your words are beautiful and deeply real. Not sugar coated but reality. I adore it and the song. 💙
@Magenta I had wrote this originally for a gaming site where I knew many would relate to it. However as I read and rereed it with the music it began to affect me to the point of a tear each time and I knew here was place it needed to be; if only for an instant.

I was glad to share this with you. Gladder yet that you liked.

No sugar coating in this one.

I still have those records, and class ring, but, well you know....

Great post, thanks so much for sharing it. Keep writing !!
@Waymor Burial at Sea is awesome-as it that song. I wrote a lot more on EP as folks read what I wrote. here, not so much. It is a far different site.

Love Patsy Cline...
@BexEyes This is such a heartbreaking song!!! And it requires us to listen.I had to do that in the game. Stop my character and just let the song play as if live was suspended.

And yet, is it so good of a tearjerker. We feel her loss, we feel OUR loss.
Peaches · F
Oh YES! 💓I love Patsy and use to sing her songs at karaoke.🎼🎤Brings back bittersweet memories, most of us have felt this song...these emotions.💔Great post.⭐
@Peaches Thanks. I think it is a touching song. Makes me cry anyways, at times.

I believe we all own, or have, trivialities, Trinkets of days gone by. By we also have people in our past that we do not have. Maybe they were just friends , maybe more. But we lack them.

@Elandra77 True.🥀
