Leaving You (own composition + background-images flowers)
- 16 jaar geleden
As I mentioned before I wrote this song for my girlfriend, who was 19 at the time..
Unfortunately we had a fight one evening. She left and 15 minutes later she took her own life at the
railway station.
Of course her motivations did certainly not only involve me, but it was a big disillusion for myself being
just 16 years old and having my first girlfriend. The road to making my peace with it and accepting it was
long, difficult and hard. But getting older I tried to convince myself that even if I wanted to, I could have done nothing to prevent her from doing sooner or later what she had planned in her head.
I soon realized there was nothing I could do to bring her back to say I was sorry. So I did the only thing for her I was good at in those days. And that was playing the piano and writing her a second song. Unfortunately she never lived long enough to hear it.
