Sitting, still a tad nervous but already comfortable on the dark blue carpet of my then - new boyfriend, now - love of my life's apartment. My heart, recently stomped on, crushed, grinded. Failure. Loss.
He turns to me.
"I want to play a song for you."
"Sure."
Instrumental starts, then a gravelly voice.
"There comes a time, a time in everyone's life, where nothing seems to go your way, where nothing seems to turn out right."
I wince.
Now paralyzed.
It was everything he needed to say.
It has led to everything since.
"When it's a friend you need, let it be me."
Let it be me. The four unconventional words that translated to three.
The song played through, and then I spoke.
