Tonight, again...

I haven't seen this movie, little sweetheart, since I watched it with you. We rented and brought it when Chris & Sheri invited us over to dinner, remember? It was kind of a double date, I guess. It's really just a nice, little film- not an epic one. But I remember now that I liked the music so much. And you did too. It was stuff I already knew but songs like Alex Chilton's "I'm in Love With A Girl" took on such bigger resonance because you found and held me close to you. I remember crying every time I heard it after that. I remember crying so often just being with you because I was so overwhelmed with love. Sometimes I'd cry because we had to say goodbye for a few days or weeks but I could cry just to be in your arms. Now I cry with such longing for you, my love. And all I remember. But that night I remember that this Cure song came up under this very scene. Chris said something like "who knew The Cure wrote any happy songs " and you just looked at me and smiled because I'd just played "It's Friday, I'm in Love" for you and it was our song of the moment. We heard it everywhere after that. At Trader Joe's. At that place we liked in the Marina. Suddenly it was everywhere. Just as suddenly as we had become us. As suddenly there was you.
