no, not just because it’s my name.
but for a million reasons.
because it fits sometimes.
because a friend (i won’t name her in this instance) went to see them live and phoned me, and just knew that this would be it.
this would be the song i think about.
that plays through my head sometimes, in the dark spaces where i doubt myself.
and when she called me that night. to tell me. i was alone. doubting myself. and consoling myself with a void.
a void put there by life. the void she and i know about, dive into when we must and emerge from, cleansed.
it’s that void that keeps me humble. keeps me awed at good things. it’s the void i need, to remain in the moment.
to love every moment.
this post will make no sense to anyone but her.
she knows what i beat myself up over. time and time and time again.
she knows what i let go of, live through and grasp at with greatest intention, when nobody else is looking.
she knows why i look back at some things, and look away from others.
she knows the brightest star, and recognises the darkest shadows.
she knows what all of it means when it says i’d have done the same as you.
