I was thinking about this, and one song suddenly came back to me, Nanci Griffith’s If Wishes were Changes
She wrote it after seeing Wim Wenders’ film Wings Of Desire, in London, and the words had a special resonance for me, because around the same time I broke up with someone I loved dearly, for reasons that seemed right at the time, but that turned out to be totally imaginary; after we met up again later, I found that if I’d only talked over what seemed to be wrong, we would have stayed together, but by this time, it was too late, and hearing this song, just now, after so many years, has brought it all back.
Possibly one of the biggest mistakes in my entire life, and breaking the heart of someone I really loved, and who loved me, I still can’t forgive myself for. 🙁
