These were the months that shaped us.behind all our frustrations over all these years has been the wish to get back to those happy days.Once we began to see the world differently we could feel time running out on us and we were impatient with each other.Every disagreement was an interruption of what we knew was possible-and soon there was only interruption.And in the end time did run out,but memories are still there,accusing us,and we still can't let each other alone.

The passage reflects on a period of nostalgia and longing for happier times that contrast with the frustrations experienced over the years. The speaker acknowledges a desire to return to those blissful days, highlighting how a shift in perspective intensified their awareness of time slipping away. This realization led to impatience and frequent disagreements, which became barriers to the connection they once cherished.

Ultimately, the passage conveys a sense of loss as time inevitably ran out, leaving behind memories that haunt them. Despite the passage of time, the emotional ties remain strong, suggesting that the unresolved issues and memories continue to affect their relationship, preventing them from moving on and allowing each other the space needed for healing.
