making it sense of it all – lyrically
You took my hand, you showed me how
You promised me you’d be around…
I took your words and I believed
In everything you said to me
If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong…
If you’re not an alcoholic, what you are about to read should seem pathetic. If you are, you’ll understand why Pink’s Who Knew – a song about losing someone – means so much to me. 70-some-odd days ago, I lost a very good friend. A “friend” that I thought would always be around. If you’d told me 6 months ago that this and friend and I would have to part for good, while I wouldn’t have punched you, I sure would have laughed. Without this friend, life is far more difficult. Sure, I’m moving on. But when bad days hit, they hit hard, because I don’t have my goddamn friend anymore.
I’m not a Pink fan, but a friend sings this song with her band and she rocks it. Listening to it a few months back, I made the connection. This is incredibly embarrassing. The end.
went to a pink concert once, got in near physical a fight with a lesbian. Still love pink. Great post. That is all. <3
Yesterday I got a phone call from our doctor asking me to go straight to his surgery – I saw my husband there, the first time in 8 weeks; he was completley yellow (even his lips), his stomach was horribly distended and he has odema in both legs from thigh to ankle. He has lost an enormous amount of weight – I would not have recognised him in the street! I had to take him to hospital immediately and have left him there to have his stomach drained – he is 57 and I am 52, someone in the hospital thought I was his daughter! Please Brooke keep strong, your “friend” is a leech!
I don’t think you are pathetic, although I had to read your post a few times to get the meaning you meant to express. I hope you can keep strong, and actually, I believe you can.
Your decision to leave boozing is very wise and also very admirable, and what I’ve read from your posts, I think you’re a great person. And remember Brooke, the difficulties do not kill us, they only make us stronger. I wish you all the best. 
Thank you @SuperManda & Madame. @Silvertigo – thank you for stopping by and for your encouragement. You know, my sister emailed me because she wanted to know who I lost and how I lost them. I guess this post is a bit puzzling!! Thanks again ladies.
I too lost a friend, 83 days ago. I miss her less and less each day. She was a two-faced, manipulative bitch anyway!
I totally understand. And you should not feel embarrassed. At all.
