Once Upon A Time On Northline

My life has been a nightmare for sometime and continues to descend irrevocably into darkness, But the time I spent riding with you through nearby neighborhoods and talking about either childhood sorrows or 90's dance music was like a respite from tears, a momentary escape from fears, it meant more to me than you'll ever know. You shared with me your own difficult times: physical abuse from someone obsessed with you, a child you wished you knew, a father you should have known longer, choices that may still break your heart, I took it all in and said my prayers for you. Now, I reread the note you sent to me: 'I found a guy who I truly love and I'm happy. I hope you understand.' I never desired more troubles for you, I don't desire that now. I understand.
