eight and dear my friend discuss kind of similar points: missing someone, feeling distanced from them, and remembering memories. it gets even sadder when you notice the differences, eight's about not being able to see the person ever again and meeting through memories,

and dear my friend about questioning about if things turned out differently would their friendship have turned out differently? would they still be friends? and not being able to let go of those questions even to this day

it makes sense when you consider both iu and yoongi read "about grief" which im currently reading...it discussing so much about missing people, the processes we go through when unimaginable stuff happens...these songs are so personal and so beautiful.
