Lion from Split EP by The Languid Current, DadTackle

The process of a split.

When going through the stages of processing that the person who has told you they love you everyday is leaving, it is hard. It is supposed to be hard. That is, if you do love that person. And I do. Frustration at the past phrases that bleed into your current present thoughts. “Everything is yours.” Longing and appreciation for those sparkling moments nostalgically lifting themselves above all other finite moments. The perfect days where everything so simple was so much more fulfilling because they were there. The friends that carried you through your “wild talk” with love and supportive tolerance. The sadness in the wake of realizations. And, knowing that you still love them, and always will. I don't know about you, but I'm proud to love with all I have.

Lyrics

Lion,
I love you.

No.

What I mean to say is,
I'll love you.

When you come back,
When you leave and come back to me,
When you go through chemotherapy,
When you have no mane,
No eyebrows,

Because when I have the choice,
I love you.

Because ever since that day,
I never had a choice.

Because no matter who you choose,

I

Love

You.
