Writer's Block: Music of my heart

 What’s that one song that always reminds you of the one that got away?

He's going to see this, but it's okay, we're friends now. The song is "Air of December" by Edie Brickell. We were involved 20 or so years ago, then estranged, then recently reunited as friends just a couple of years ago.

Some reasons the lyrics remind me of him:

He came downstairs once while it was playing and I was cooking in the kitchen. His brother knew some of her band members, or something like that, so it was a happy coincidence. i remember him smiling and his eyes shining, and us joking about him getting in my way in the kitchen.

"Air of December" -- one night in December we were waiting outside for a train, trying to keep warm, sliding our hands into each other's coats and pockets. It seemed we waited a very long time for that train.

"I swear I remember it that way" -- because these memories are so long ago

"Where are you now?" -- the long time we were out of touch

"You'll never be what you were to me" -- That's true, but the friendship we have now is actually better -- and that is the biggest surprise to me.

memory, writer's block, romance
