Feist - One Evening http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTKu-CDz30w
Yesterday I saw the only girl I’ve ever considered I could marry. She was in town and called me, we met. She’s currently with someone she will probably marry and be with for the rest of her life and they’ll be happy. And I’m happy for her.
We met in a bar the night the Rolling Stones played Halifax. I sat on the edge of her chair, she made conversation with me. She was Italian. She rolled her own cigarettes. She came to my apartment later and we sat up all night talking and listening to Feist’s Let It Die. It was more beauty than I could handle and circumstance dictated that nothing more would come from it all. We parted. I left Halifax and since we’ve found each other many times, all under auspicious and similar circumstance.
Regardless. This song captures that one night when we met.
I’ve been one to appreciate love, romantic connection. When love comes, if even but briefly, it’s most important to thank that love came at all, discard what is unimportant from what follows. It doesn’t matter if we can’t live up to that beauty, it matters that we once thought we could and moved accordingly. Still, with this one particular, though it’s hurtful that we never really had our time to know each other fully, it’s stronger that we loved once.
And today I saw her. And we talked about Feist, actually.
