I barely remember this song. I listen to it now and it's predictable, derivative, formulaic, and tho it hit the Billboard charts back in 1982, it's largely forgotten by the world now. So why it is my jam in this instant of 2015? I've been scanning the web listening to music from my childhood to young adulthood. Stuff that meant something then but is almost new to me now.. and when I heard this one just now, i got a tinge of a memory. Not much. I remember watching her walk away. I said something stupid, as I am prone to do. I must be in my teen years somewhere. I don't think I have a beard yet. She stormed off mad, but I remember thinking I'll see her again. I can fix this. I'll get her back. However, it was the start or maybe the end of a school break maybe Christmas or Easter. Hard to remember. I thought I'd see her again. I never did. I can't remember her face. I can't recall her name. It's decades later. I doubt she remembers either. It almost doesn't even hurt. Almost.
