one time i put together a piano arrangement of “Tear In My Heart” and performed it for her as a surprise

i cried in her arms because i was so anxious

she was there for all of the overwhelmingly turbulent emotions of my youth

in retrospect the arranging was infinitely more meaningful and significant to me, as a way to focus and direct my affections into a creation the performance was a distortion of this passion to an extent the whole experience is indicative of my rather odd way of relating to people
