    "It's about that exact back and forth emotion. like… 'Wow I miss you and what we had was pretty amazing and actually how did this not work out and yeah this hurts a ton and sometimes kinda a lot of times I wanna call you and try again' but then I'm like, 'No I can't I just can't'... ya know? that kind of feeling."
