Glimpse of Us
Joji Lyrics
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she is so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's working
So what can I do? (Ooh)
When you're out of sight
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slipping slowly
And find me again
When you're out of sight
In my mind
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
'Cause sometimes I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinking of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hoping I'll find
A glimpse of us

It's hard to forget someone who had that much of an impact on you. Someone you loved with every fiber. Someone you worshipped, even the ground they walked on. Fuck, it's hard.
If you're reading this, no matter what you're going through, we're all broken in some way. It has to get worse before it gets better. A rainbow isnt possible without a little rain first. Time is the best healer, and you'll power through it.
Stay strong, you're more powerful than you think. I believe in you. Everyone here does.
Love you ❤️
EDIT: Wow 1k! Thank you!
Hope all of you are still saying safe, and are still powering through.
It takes more power to speak up about your struggles, regardless what they are!
It takes a ton of bravery to do so!
Never be afraid to talk to a friend/loved one about your demons.
Keep powering through! Keep being strong! Keep being you! ❤️

She'd take the world off my shoulders

So what can I do? (Ooh)

y,
[Verse 1]
She'd take the world off my shoulders
If it was ever hard to move
She'd turn the rain to a rainbow
When I was living in the blue
Why then, if she's so perfect
Do I still wish that it was you?
Perfect don't mean that it's workin'
So what can I do? (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're out of sight
In my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes, I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
[Verse 2]
Tell me he savors your glory
Does he laugh the way I did?
Is this a part of your story?
One that I had never lived
Maybe one day, you'll feel lonely
And in his eyes, you'll get a glimpse
Maybe you'll start slippin' slowly and find me again
[Pre-Chorus]
When you're out of sight
In my mind
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes, I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes, I look in her eyes
And that's where I find a glimpse of us
And I try to fall for her touch
But I'm thinkin' of the way it was
Said I'm fine and said I moved on
I'm only here passing time in her arms
Hopin' I'll find a glimpse of us

I was in this position.
My bf developed psychotic depression in the pandemic- he has been depressed for a really, really long time- after his medication stopped helping- but he was masking it- and then he stopped taking it altogether. Yes, it was sad, but it was also terrifying. He was delusional and intense, one of his delusions was that I ruined his life so he broke up with me.
My friends told me to move on. I had zero support from them; if I did go to see them I had to avoid the subject because they didn't understand and I would just be trying not to cry on their couch anyway, trying not to worry. He was talking and behaving very strangely, often without thought, and could be disrespectful to me. A little while, maybe a few weeks, before, he had slapped me in the face and then acted like he hadn't even done anything wrong. Normally he would never lay hands on me.
I was still in love and could still see who he was in what he was then. I was scared for his life. I also knew I was the only person he was comfortable being truly open with and scared what would happen if he lost the one person who really knows who cares unconditionally for and about him.
Those unsupportive people? They were also his friends.
I dedicated my life during that time to him getting better. When I got him to talk to me again, we went on walks a lot. Endless late night phone calls. It kind of wasn't that weird to me because my mom is bipolar, but it was heartbreaking to have someone show you every vulnerable piece of themselves and see how much pain and confusion they were in, and their urge to mask it, especially with how much I love my boyfriend.
It took 6 months and a lot of work. A lot of barely sleeping. At one point I was considering having him involuntarily committed against his wishes within days, like as long as I could stand being awake every second he was to be sure he wasn't intending to hurt himself. I knew the episode had to be over soon but it just seemed to be getting worse and worse wasn't something that he could withstand. That was when I got the first smile. It was fucking over. That was an amazing day.
It doesn't matter how much he is masking when he is depressive, he can't smile or really laugh. Doesn't matter if something feels good or is funny; the episode meant that was particularly stark. He really couldn't enjoy anything. It was not long before he started his new medication, which has worked better than the first since day one.
We've been together 5 years now. It's his birthday today. I'm waiting for him to come home from work.
He barely remembers that time because it's like his brain doesn't work that way anymore. His new medication works and he takes it. Sometimes it upsets him when I talk about a part of it I remember that I had no outlet for at the time.
I am really thankful to the pandemic for the fact I could sit around the house crying a lot. Mulling over whether I did something would inadvertenly kill him, or help him, did I ruin his life? When I did have to go to work on approximately 37 minutes of sleep it was really rough.

Yesterday, a living thing that I loved more than my life passed away. Now I feel all my emotions in the song. Thank you for that.

The best part is :
I was never in a romantic relationship in my life and yet I feel bad for the thing that failed to even start.
Huge respect for you guys for going through what it takes for a relationship.

It’s not worth it, I’ll probably drink myself to death before I see my daughter at this rate
