I've decided that first dates will begin with the trading of mixtapes

I know it wasn’t a date, but I still swooned when I found your playlist in inide lo-fi typewritten letters, wrapped with chemistry notes. It only makes sense that a collection of songs be my new standard for a first impression on any romantic endeavours.

This became my battle cry. The BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM of the toms that compel my body to heave when I’m pretending to sing those harmonies to an empty sky.

I can trace moments of my past through your music; summer days spent with a Girlfriend’s Dog, a hopeless infatuation with auf der Maur’s Celebrity Skin, tinny speakers blasting Porno Mouth in the room where I lost my virginity on a soft single bed that seemed a huge canvas to our naked bodies. Maybe that’s why you already understood so much of me. It’s like we’re different landscapes represented using the same cartography.

And yet we we’re so similar, and when I realized this, it meant I liked myself too. You were the reaffirmation that I should be happy with the person I’ve become. I have to wonder though: how’d you get there? Did you hate yourself the way I did, and you suffer and struggle like me, or have you always been where I’ve been trying to get my whole life?

And if your Nina Simone is my Leonard Cohen, and my Andrew Vincent is your Andrew Vincent, what else do we share?

I thought I’d never hear music the same way again. I’d always be listening for the both of us, and my discoveries would forever be your discoveries too. So did you mean it when you said I’d linked myself emotionally to all your favourite songs, or have you forgotten me already? I still wonder where you’ve gone when Green Eyes comes on. I told you I need more people like you in my life, and I still do.

Hope the music is loud, and you’re wearing out the soles in your dancing shoes somewhere.
