Love of mine
Someday you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark

No blinding light
Or tunnels, to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark

If Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school, as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son, fear is the heart of love," so I never went back

And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
But it's nothing to cry about
'Cause we'll hold each other soon
In the blackest of rooms

And if Heaven and Hell decide that they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no's on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you when your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark

Then I'll follow you into the dark

This time of year is more sad than joyful as I remember the anniversaries of my parents' passing -- Mum passed 4 years ago; and Dad 2.

On the drive home this evening, I heard this song on the radio. I almost had to pull over; such emotions welled to the surface.

I miss Mum and Dad as much today as I did they day they passed. What I wouldn't give to hear one of Dad's jokes or taste some of Mum's cooking...

just...

These comments make my own issues seem very insignificant.

My mama used to frequently tell me when I was depressed that there would always be someone else’s pain going on that was worse than mine. Even when I’d be happy again someone would be in excruciating pain & thinking about that all my life made me feel so insignificant that even after getting away from that toxic thinking that I still struggle to see myself as a real person some days. Please deeply understand that you & your pain you experience is like no other and for that reason only you can say how deep it ever goes. And for that same reason you should experience the highs of knowing your happiness is all your own as well. I think that there are still too many people in this world who don’t know how to give themselves a break. This thinking creates empaths, psychopaths & people who are confused on how to feel & if they even feel right. We need to disconnect from this once common idea that a paper cut is outweighed more than a bruise. Just because the bruise isn’t bleeding doesn’t mean it isn’t deep & painful like the cut.

Your issues significance aren’t measured by the issues of others, I’m a seventh grader and right now failing a class seems like it’d be the end of the world for me and it is, but compared to somebody else it’s inconsequential. But that doesn’t mean it means any less to me.

This was by boyfriends favourite song until he took his life. He was bullied for being bisexual, his parents didn’t accept him, he didn’t have many friends. But he was amazing, he was one of the nicest people ever. It was one year ago today when he took his life. The next day I tried to take mine, I wanted to follow him into the dark. But I can’t bring myself to do it.

my soulmate died a day before my birthday. he was in love with me, and it was the purest love anyone had ever given me. (i’ve only experienced toxic love before) which made me too afraid to allow myself to love him back. i didnt know how to accept such love im not used to. he always asked me to take a chance with him, and i always replied “im too afraid to lose you and i cant afford that” thing is, he never knew i was more afraid to love him than to lose him. but in losing him, i realized i’ve loved him. i loved him. i love him. but i never got to tell him that, i never got to tell him that when i asked him if he ever met someone he genuinely wanted to spend the rest of his life with that i hoped i’d be his answer because he was mine. he was someone i saw myself wanting to spend the rest of my life with... but now every year his death anniversary is a day before my birthday reminding me of how he never got to celebrate it with me like he said he would. hope when our souls reunite one day, i tell him how much i loved him. tell him i’m sorry that his last text msg was “please reply”, i’m sorry i watched my phone ring without picking up. i’m sorry that our last phone call was short. i’m sorry i didn’t hold him tighter the night that was our last. your soul is with me always. i carry you with me everywhere i go and no time would ever erase or replace you. you’re a part of me, and one day ill be able to tell you myself.

he died in his sleep.

rest your heart and soul in peace, my angel Hussam. until we meet again.

Almost 8 years since my best friend committed suicide, we sang this together a lot, it made sense since we had a suicide pact that if they other killed themselves than we would follow suit, working ad a deterant, i guess one day the demons got to loud and she took her own life, i tried to follow suit and swollowed all my sleeping pills, but i was found seizing on the floor by my mother who heard me, and i was rushed to the hospital i had my stomach pumped and was stabalized, and i was sent to a metal health institution, i was blaming myself for not being able to follow her and that i had made a promise, i took me 5 years for my counsellor to get it through to me that if i had followed through with the pact, then i would have broken the very spirit that the pact was formed on, she wanted me to live and if i had killed myself then i would be betraying her. That was a hard pill to swallow, im still not in a good place but i have go forge on, to keep her memory alive, her mom finally cleaned out her room, and she sent me a bunch of the love letters that she had written me, honestly i didnt know she felt the same way, im still trying to force the thought that maybe if i had just told her how i felt, maybe we would be together and happy today, my heart still aches but ill keep going i have to. I love you elizabeth, and theres not a damn thing you can do about it..

What makes it even more beautiful for me is that I have loved her for 8 years now, and her name is also.... Elizabeth.❤️

I remember the first time I heard this song. I was in the car with my ex and this song resonated with me so much. To the point of tears. I looked over at my ex and they didn’t even respond. They actually hated the song and it was at that moment when I realized that we were never meant to be. That they would never follow me into the dark. Flash forward to 4 years later, and I had a first date with someone very special to me. We went to a bar and they had karaoke. Wouldn’t you know, this was the song he had chosen to sing! That special someone is my now husband and we’re expecting our first child in May! So don’t give up hope! There is someone for you!

@Aiman Daniel I think however we come back it will be a drastic improvement. We're not going to be able to get back those things we lost of course, but we'll be able to get back some of that freedom that we lost having to worry about COVID and reserving ourselves to our homes. I think COVID will have a strong impact on how people look at diseases and public safety. So I hope from a political and governmental standpoint there is a change. I am by no means a pessimist, in fact I'm often blindly optimistic because that's how I get through things but I hope that we don't return to the status quo and we actually gain a better understanding of disease and our system so we can prevent future events like this. And hey, maybe some good things that happened during this time, rare as they may be, happened because of COVID. So I hope that there were some lighter moments in your life during all this, and that things get better for you rn.

Aiman Daniel

@Comrade Kingston I'm not sure if I am alright. If you're asking about my health then yes, I am well and hopefully you are too but I can't help it but think, -yes covid put a pause on this world, life that we so blindly follow. But while the most of the world is shutting down, things are still moving, in the shadows. Things that the public do not see or even aware of. During this pause, we lost some things, we lost people, we lost time. It happens but it stings just a bit more for some of us. It changed our course that have been there for decades, centuries even. We had to revert or adapt to different ways in order to function like pre-covid so is there really change? Will there really be change? Or will we (after getting the vaccine) will just keep on going like we used to? I know what we lost we can never gain back. To some of us maybe we lost our graduation day or our wedding or that day that we've been waiting for so long. I wonder for a real change. Something actually better not just temporary small victory. Sorry it's a bit lengthy and a bit depressing, bleak thought. Provided I just watched tomorrowland

Man, everyone here has experienced some sort of deep, piercing loss, and it makes me feel kinda silly for my significantly less tragic connection to the song. And yet, without fail, tears trail down my face whenever I hear this song. I truly feel the emotion Ben Gibbard pours out from his heart into the music. And I pray and wish with all my heart that I will find a love that runs as deep as this.
This was “our song” between me and my first high school boyfriend. He wasn’t my first love, but my first “mature” love, if that makes any sense. Gone were the days of childhood crushes, and on into the days of planning a future and deep conversations. We would cuddle under the stars, he would read poetry to me until I fell asleep, the whole package.
I have some wonderful memories with him, but also some awful ones. He was so manipulative; he shattered my already fragile heart and self-esteem to slivers. I was blind with naïveté and puppy love, and it took me so long to see who he truly was. I still have trust issues from it. It’s funny how many of my best memories are with some of the worst people who have hurt me the most.
For a long time, I believed I was unlovable, or that “true love” was something only in fairytales. It’s awful living so young and jaded. It took me a while, but I’ve met a better man who really loves me and treats me with respect, and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I still cry at this song now - not for the painful memories of the past, but for the bittersweet beauty in it and for the hope that our love will be this strong, knowing that we will go out together. 💘

@Ashley A I do hope you realize that your mom would not want you to do that? And I hope you realize that it is the natural order of things for children to eventually lose their parents, to outlive their parents and move on with their lives. My dad is in the final stages of metastatic cancer but I am not following him into the dark for a long time, I hope. I am in no rush to follow him because I doubt I would ever see him again anyways because I doubt there is an afterlife. This life is probably all we get, so we might as well live it well and have as much fun as we can for as long as we can before it comes to an end, too.

A G

30w

It's true. These are the saddest comments I've ever read, but that's life. Life ultimately ends in tragedy, no way to get around it. You just hope you had fun and loved someone who loved you back along the way. The song doesn't really give much hope of an afterlife, just darkness, and that's probably what it is. I doubt there is a heaven or hell, just an ending and darkness like going to sleep but no dreaming and never waking up. So enjoy life while it lasts because that's probably all you get, and you either lose everything and everyone you ever loved along the way, or you die first and then they lose you. Tragic, but it is what it is.

Timothy, I thought I was the only one who thought this and experienced these emotions welling up when I had honestly thought I was over the worst of grief. My dad has been gone 16 years, my mom only one, (and they were elderly when they died), but I would give so much to just see them one more time to say the things I should have said during life. So much love and kindness to you - your parents must have been incredible people to have raised such a wonderful son. I will never meet you in person but knowing that you and I shared the same emotion upon hearing this song made me feel better. I hope you are feeling better and happier now as well - as much as I miss my parents, I have so many happy memories of them and these memories, while sometimes bittersweet, are beautiful to me. Kind thoughts to you!

My fiancee of 6 years broke things off with me and is moving hundreds of miles away and my child is going with her. She found someone else shortly after we split and sometimes I feel so alone and worn out for all this, after all the effort I put in... I'm holding out in hope that things turn around for myself and everyone else going through it right now.

I still miss you Mia, you were my best friend and my first love. If only I got the chance to tell you how I felt before you pulled the plug. I remember how you asked me to stay alive for you during my suicidal days because I felt a deep emptiness, that was nothing compared to what I felt when you passed. I promised myself to stay alive to keep your memory burning bright, and I do not think negatively of you, nor will call you a hypocrite. You were so optimistic and saw the bright side of everything. I hate your ex boyfriend that beat you, I hate your parents for always bickering and neglecting you, and I hate the pills that took you from this world. But I love you for the art of forgiveness you taught me. I lost you before you were mine and all I want to do is see your face again and hear your voice, but the world had different plans. Nevertheless I love you and I know I’ll see you again one day but I’m gonna keep going not just because of the promise but for myself as well. This life is here because of you, thank you. Until we meet again

I know what it feels like to love your best friend. I still do to this day and I can’t even think of losing her, everybody has their ups and downs in life and you just possibly took the biggest down in your life. But, with everything there is something to counter it. So, I believe that something amazing will happen soonish in your life, I hope it is as soon as tomorrow for you.

My best friend was mauled by wolves, a few days after our first kiss, I never got to say goodbye, or even "I Love You." But you know what? I know I'll see him again. He's in a coma, and has been for a few years. I have no idea if he'll ever wake up, but I do know that at least if he doesn't, I'll get the chance to say goodbye. Not everyone can say that.
very important 👏
You are all loved, no matter what you have ever done, or whoever you have lost, there IS someone there who loves you.
Please. Stay. The world needs you ❤

I lost my aunt in May this year. She was my legal guardian so she was basically my mom since I was 9. We were in Pensacola on vacation, and I really do understand it when he says, "I'll be close behind, and follow you into the dark [...] our hands clasped so tight, waiting for the hint of a spark". Sitting in the ICU just waiting... waiting with her. She was a nurse, and an organ donor when she passed, and I think that's part of the spark she left behind. It's beautiful to see life from death that way, even when I don't really know where she is. And as a Christian this song has been uncomfortable, but I think I know now how valid this kind of love is, love that would follow into the darkness of nothingness to be with someone in their most dire straits. Cause I loved her like that, and if I believe Jesus died and rose to save everyone, then... He follows us into the dark. And that's what love is, and we get the opportunity to trust that it's there for us, too. Tl;dr love this song & sadboi story/thoughts/opinions, but hope it helps someone

This comment reminded me of my grand parents. My grandma was sick and had been I hospital for a few weeks until my grandfather had a stroke and died shortly after. My grandmother followed after another week or so. My dad lost both his parents in the span of a week and the he had a falling out with his only brother because his brother was treating my parents horribly while they were trying to sort through my grand parents estate. It’s been four years and I haven’t seen my uncle since my grandparents died.

My Aurora,

Though we are both still alive, we are both unwell. There will come a time where one of us will pass and leave the other to carry on our legacy. This, our song, is what makes me believe that I will meet you again in the afterlife. That, though we may be separated for a short amount of time, I'll see you again. My arms are forever around you, holding you close. Though we may be sobbing, unstable humans, we are lovers. My soulmate, my Aurora, I love you so very much, and when the time dawns, I too will follow you into the dark.

Now she got pregnant from being raped, and she insisted on cutting me from her life so I wouldn't be burdened.

If anyone would give me a ride to her new place in New York, I'd be the guy to play this outside her house waiting for her to come back to me. I don't care what's she's going through, I'll go through it with her.

This was one of my favorite songs when I was little. All of my favorite songs were depressing. I don’t why, but now going back to them, it makes me nostalgic, but not happy nostalgic. I get all sad wishing I could go back. Y’know, nostalgia can be a great feeling, or it can hurt like You know we spend so much time wishing and longing to go back to the past. Nostalgia is both the worst and best feeling in the world, why is that?

I used to have animals, I had a black rabbit that a named blueberry ( because the light on her fur look blue) and she got crushed by a tree at my grandma’s house when I was very little, we used to have a lot of cats, one of them died and most of them ran away, I still have my cat, khai, but she is outside a lot and it worries me, my dad smokes and I usually think about him dying from which causes me to cry myself to sleep sometimes and I’m very anxious around other people which is why I’m homeschooled.

This song reminds me of my great grandparents, after 65 years of marriage and growing up together my grandmother went into the hospital for a routine checkup she suddenly had a stroke and ended up in palliative care and an hour later we were saying our goodbyes when my uncle wheeled in my grandfather he screaming at the top of his lungs that it was supposed to be him first and if his legs still worked he'd carry her through the gates of the holy land himself because it was what she deserved, it was the most heart breaking thing I have ever heard in my life he kept saying over and over that he loved her and after 65 years he had still loved her so very much since before they were kids, to this day I still hear him crying, she was completely unresponsive but when she passed she opened her eyes one last time and looked at him and he said he loved her and she was going to be ok and that he'd be there soon to take care of her like always then she closed her eyes and she just died, I had to grab her stuff and the sad thing is she had her money in her coat for the taxi ride home it happened so fast and so suddenly, my grandfather died a week later at the same time and same day she did, he waited for her funeral and the next day he just layed down and passed away, wherever they are now I hope there together and happy

She doesn’t show it a lot, but when she does I get really sad and start to miss you even more. She’s misses you, a lot. I wish you could see me and Bella grow up. See us become people and I just wish you were here. You were too young. I don’t know the full reasons why you did it, but I won’t let anything happen to anyone. I’ll protect grandma like you told me to. I remember the day my mom got the call. I had never seen her cry so much. I cried a lot too, but I was confused. I get it now. I didn’t get it then. I love you Giraffe. Maybe you’ll see Kobe up there.

Uncle John I miss you so much. I remember feeding you. Just before you left. I still have your recipes and I don’t let anyone touch them. I want to try them one day. I miss you and Sofie. Your love was something amazing. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone more in love. I know you lost your memory and would forget about me sometimes, but I’ll never forget you. I’m sorry for the things I said, I was stupid and young and I didn’t mean it. Say hi to Delia and Sofie for me. I miss you guys.
