In the midst of my busy weekend, J sent me an email. All I could see was that it had a fairly large attachment. I assumed it was a video clip off the web of a music video or something. I didn't have time to download it, so I left it until Sunday night.
I opened it... and all the body of the email said was "one of my favourite songs for one of my favourite persons"
The attachment was a video that J took of himself singing along with his guitar. The song was one of my favourite Weezer songs. This song had been playing somewhere in the city when I had seen him on Wednesday, and I casually mentioned how much I loved it.
It was heartbreaking.
I wrote a long email back, just telling him how beautiful it was, but that things with M were getting more serious, and it was time to go back to being just friends. I told him how sorry I was that the timing wasn't right, but that it just wasn't meant to be.
He wrote me this very poetic email back. He accepted what I had to say.
It was one of the best emails I've ever had. 10:01 PM
