In the same way that people find music that complements certain films, or drinks that go with some foods, I’ve found music that accentuates my image of you. I pair the two and they exist in perfect harmony, like the tunes couldn’t have existed without you there beside them. In the same way that one might feel incomplete in a theater without popcorn, hearing some songs won’t feel the same without the thought of you.
You’re all those melodies that musicians wrote when they saw or heard something beautiful and had to express their admiration for it. You’re what frustrated me when you pointed out my qualities, but also intrigued me because I realized you were looking harder than everyone else. You’re the catchphrases reappearing in my head and in my vocabulary and the image that blends so beautifully with every melody. You’re retaliation and mixed feelings and waiting for the barrier between us to lift so I can sit down and take notes again. You’re escalation and putting everything away and going to sleep because I got a message from you that took away my vocal cords and my motor functioning skills and rebuilt me into something completely new. How symbolic that I sat down at the table of luxury to feast and was distracted by the thought of you.
