if you

I really can't stop listening to this song, it's so good. I read the English lyrics and really connected but I feel like I understood without even having to read them.

If you're struggling like I am can't we make things a little easier? 

Our memories that I secretly put in my drawer, I take them out and reminisce again by myself.

If it's not too late, can't we get back together?

These lyrics resonated with me, I've either thought or said them myself. I had a pretty rough break up and I kept delaying it for the longest time. I was in pain but I wasn't ready to let the happiness go either. I was ready to just hold on for as long as I could without realizing it was the end. Listening to If You I really get that feel from the song and kind of agree the song doesn't need a music video. Essentially my life became the video when I first listened. I thought a lot about the past year and the years before then, too.

Sometimes breaking up feels like you've been shot in the arm and for a while you're willing to ignore the pain because you need your arm, it's part of you. You're invincible, the bullets don't really hurt at all. But then if you let that feeling fester it gets infected and you end up in so much pain it almost kills you. The only way to save your life is to sever the arm but even then you can still feel that limb after it's gone... You're left without an essential part of your being and hate yourself for not getting help in the first place and properly healing.

Have you ever thought that the past love was a deadly bullet to be remembered but the future could be an armour shield to your arms and heart?
I am sorry if I am hinting you to forget him or even butting inside your blog but I do believe that you are strong inside. A song can trigger the past and I don't know how you two broke up or whom the fault was but I do believe in fate and what is about come will be rougher, heavier and scarier but you will be stronger.

“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”
— Haruki Murakami
