yo la tengo i

I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird
There you are.
--Yo La Tengo, "Damage," I Can Hear the Heart Beating as One, 1997

The truth that this song captures: how you can be so in love with someone for days, weeks, months, years, and then, somehow, that can all disappear, and when you see that person, you feel nothing but perhaps a nostalgic fondness, and that's all you will ever feel for that person again. The damage is done.
