Love story

The love story I'm going to write about is the one in Adele's song "Someone Like You":

I heard that you're settled down
That you found a girl and you're married now.
I heard that your dreams came true.
Guess she gave you things I didn't give to you.

Old friend, why are you so shy?
Ain't like you to hold back or hide from the light.

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I had hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead, "
Yeah

You know how the time flies
Only yesterday was the time of our lives
We were born and raised
In a summer haze
Bound by the surprise of our glory days

I hate to turn up out of the blue uninvited
But I couldn't stay away, I couldn't fight it.
I'd hoped you'd see my face and that you'd be reminded
That for me it isn't over.

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah

Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
They are memories made.
Who would have known how bittersweet this would taste?

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you too
Don't forget me, I beg
I remember you said,
"Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead,
Sometimes it lasts in love but sometimes it hurts instead."
Yeah

This song tells the thoughts of a woman addressed to his ex-boyfriend. Their relationship didn't work well so they broke up. Even though, at the beginning, they were very happy and they've got many memories and sweet days to remember. The woman knows that her ex is married now and she still thinks that he is a great person. She wishes luck to her ex-lover and hopes that he won't forget her and that he'll still remember those good days they had together.

It seems that the woman couldn't really handle the separation and that she has still some feelings for her ex-boyfriend or at least that she still thinks about him. It also seems that that man was very special for her and that she actually loved him. Meanwhile the man continued with his life and has started to write another love story, the woman still lives a bit in the past. We don't know the circumstances of their separation, but in general, the best for the woman would be to do the same and look ahead.
