LSS over Adele's Someone Like You

I love the song "Someone Like You" by Adele!  I'm having a last song syndrome (LSS) over this song for a day now.  Have you ever played a song over 10 times?  I did.=)
Lyrics


I heard

That you’re settled down
That you
Found a girl
And your
Married now
I heard
That your dreams came true
I guess she gave you things
I didn’t give to you
Oh friend
Why 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 hoped you’d see my face and be reminded
That for me
It isn’t over
Nevermind
I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too
Don’t forget me
I beg
I’ll remember you still
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
It was the time of our lives
We were born and bred
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 hoped you’d see my face and be reminded
That for me
It isn’t over
Nevermind
I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too
Don’t forget me
I beg
I’ll remember you still
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Nothing compares
No worries or cares
Regrets and mistakes
And memories made
Who would have known
How bittersweet
This would taste
Nevermind
I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too
Don’t forget me
I beg
I’ll remember you still
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Nevermind
I’ll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best
For you too
Don’t forget me
I beg
I’ll remember you still
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
Sometimes it lasts in love
But sometimes it hurts instead
My Reflection


While playing, it made me think about the lyrics.  I think the song is just so sad.  I used to believe in commitments and having the "only one" too.  But after years of experience, I now figured that love only hurts when it is forced.  People should learn to let go.  Learning is our gift.  People are wise enough to learn to understand rather than to be confused and go through cumbersome misunderstandings.  We also know that forgiving is better than to hate.  So what's the difference with loving and letting go?


If my partner ever loves someone else, I won't be mad or jealous.  I would let him go immediately without question and be happy for him.  For me, being with my partner means feeling the same way as he does.  If he is happy, I am too.  If he is sad and troubled, I feel so down too.  If he feels hatred and anger, I feel like I want to take that away from him because that is so tiring.


I've recently noticed that I can't help but worry whether he is happy or not.  For me love is a big responsibility.  I used to think that if I work hard and protect him, everything would be okay.  Then, I realized that I'm aging or despite my cautiousness there is still a possibility that someday I will be gone too.    So, I had to teach him everything I know too.


Therefore, if there is someone that could give him happiness better than me then I'd feel that it is less burdensome for me and I could be happy picturing him being happy.  In fact, it is my wish to encounter my past loves someday and see them successful and happy.  Do you think my logic is weird?
