Had we spent much more time working hard on trying to sincerely connect with and understand each other on the things we loved and why (yes even just a song such as this) maybe just maybe we would have made it. Had we done that far more often than we did I dont believe we would be in the position we are currently in this culture. Our deeper feelings likes dislikes how they made us feel.
