For it's better to forget
Than to remember me
And cry... "
***
among the other music that i''ve listened to from the cure, this lyrics is quite short, there's only one verse and one repeated refrain. that what makes it simple, straight to the point, easy to remember and as clear as the words that someone special would whispered to your ears.
words of love will always sounds poetic, whether its beautiful that makes it lovely, or a little bit harsh that makes it funny, however we tend to be positive on it. but these words of love is about losing someone, its sad but true.
to me this song tells us about a relationship of two people, you could say lovers, in moments of saying goodbyes. i dont know what makes them got separated, because the song gives you the impression that the couple are in love with each other, so much, but something makes them apart.
from the very beginning the singer told us about the words that the girl whispered to him. it describe how his girl felt about this break up. she seems to care and loved the boy very much cause she said and beg to be remembered after she's gone and away from him, but not with tears.
so she wants him only to remember the happy times they've spent together. however this wasn't easy because its hard to remember someone that we love very much, while they're not with us, without tearing our heart and makes us cry.
her last messages is, well to me these words insisted how she wants to be remembered for those great moments with him. she's always true and honest with him, she's always tried to give the best in this relationship, and the most important thing is she loved only him. so she really hoped to be remembered with a smile, and once again, not with tears.
the part that touches me very much, is when she said "for its better to forget than to remember me and cry". so i think she knows the situation very well, that this farewell wont lead them anywhere but only to sadness.
