This is the most sappy, and, yet, the most appropriate song to pop into my head today. Amber and I have called it quits after more than six years together. She's been my lover and my best friend, and she's in my soul. Sigh.
Artist: Rod Stewart
Year: 1977
Rating: Warm
Post Script: As I've been attending more to the blog recently, I have to acknowledge the strange, stretchy soup that is Time. It's now–oh, wow–15 years, since Amber and I parted ways as partners. Grateful she's still in my life, though. This commentary also peels back the magical veil of the Modern Internets some, in that, I've hidden the dates on individual blog posts to make them seem more "evergreen." Music is timeless, you know. But autobiographical details do remain fixed, even as the memories waft around in the present moment.
Post-Post Script: I had to laugh when I realized anew that one of my best friends in the world found out the news of this breakup all those years ago (see the comments thread) by reading about it in the blog! And on an entry about Rod Stewart, no less!
Say it ain't so. :-( Sending you a big hug. Looks like you have a lot more healing ahead of you....
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jul. It's true, I'm in need of lots of healing: physical, emotional, even spiritual (and I'm mostly a nonbeliever.) Actually doing okay. I'll talk to you more about it in a less public forum. ((Love))
ReplyDeleteOuch. So, so sorry...that's rough. Time heals all wounds, they say. I guess it could be worse: at least it wasn't Michael Bolton's "How Am I Supposed to Live Without You" that was in your head...much cheesier!
ReplyDeleteGood call, Lisa. :) And thanks.
