I think it is incredible how songs can provoke such emotion that I can recall everything I was feeling at a certain time when a certain song was being played.
I was walking along the sidewalk past your dorm in which I spent many of my young and naive days. It was a brisk November two years ago I felt the cold in my lungs as I breathed in shallow breath after shallow breath passing by. I was reminded of moving you into that dorm room two years earlier and how difficult the whole situation was at first, but the year that ensued was something good, something comfortable, dare I even say wonderful. Now it was all just a distant memory that I wanted to hold on to at the time. The line “somehow everything I own smells of you” to this day takes me right back there.
More than anything I want to see you go take a glorious bite of the whole world.
