Two notes ago, Tearjerker reminds him of us. One note ago, it has nothing to do with us. In this note, it reminds him of us. I just listened to it for probably the first time in over a decade. My heart sank to my stomach first for embarrassment, then for sentiment, and then I just started cracking up at the warm, cheese-stuffed feelings it gave me all over. I think all in all, it was just a sweet song to make out to, with absolutely nothing in it’s lyrics having anything to do with our particular fourteen-year-old first romance. And make out to it, we did. Awkwardly.
