Elliott Smith

I remember, little sweetheart, that although I knew a little bit about him and had heard a song or two, that I suddenly bought Elliott Smith’s album “Either/Or”, maybe because I read something or possibly because I heard a track on WFMU. Maybe it was because I had finally seen “Good Will Hunting” for the first time - ha!  

Anyway, I told you about it and I’ll never forget what you said. You told me to wait before I listened because it was sad and that you wanted to be with me when I first heard it.
 

I wrote that down on an index card a week or two ago, remembering, and it’s here on my desk. I’m looking at it now and thinking, as I always am, of you.

With all my love forever.
