The crescendo to that melody I love
Broke my own heart yesterday. I’ll tell you more about it when I patch it up some. Gimme a bit, cause it’s a mess.
It’s all such a mess.
———-
Esthero’s Everyday Is a Holiday starts with the lines:
Met him on Sunday, loved him by Tuesday afternoon.
Woke up on Friday, changed my whole life to make some room
Which is much like how my relationship with Alison started off – at least the second time when we had more than a few words with each other.
I told every single woman I met during my dating years that, “I’m looking for my person. I suppose you are too. Let’s figure out if I’m yours and your mine.”
With Alison, though, I figured out that she was my person almost immediately – in fact, I broke things off with a few people because just meeting her made things a bit clearer for me.
I’ll say “When I think of you, you’re like my favorite song
Or that melody, that melody I love”
And it goes, La da da da da da da da
If every thing I love in my life is a series of songs – moments, family, friends – then my time with her is my favorite melody.
And if the rumors are true, I can look forward to
Some better days and getaways, so nice
‘Cause when I am with you, you’re the crescendo to that melody
That melody I love, yeah, da da da da
For us, the rumors weren’t true. We only had a few better days and getaways, but at least we had them with each other. I am forever grateful that I met her in this world.
And she and the kid have been the crescendo to that melody, that melody I love.
Years ago…
Me: It’s like that song from Esthero: I met you on Sunday, loved you by Tuesday afternoon, and changed my life on Friday to make some room.
Her: (amused) How many times have you used that line?
Me: Just this once. It’s a one-shot line – and if it works, we’ll get married and have our better days and getaways.
Her: (laughing) OK.
Me: So, you love me too?
Her: (nodding) Like a fat kid loves cake, Logan.
Location: at the foot of her bed
Mood: Take your saddest moment. Multiply it by 10,000. Then double that, because I have two people I love dying. And all I can do is f______g watch.
Music: Around a quarter to two, I have remembered all my lines

Beautiful writing. Again, this is heartbreaking and all I know to say is im so sorry. You both are on my mind.
Damn. Logan. Strength to you. I was six when my father suddenly had to raise me alone (and three older siblings). He did it. You will, too. I have followed your blog for ages and never managed to comment but this is not the time to be silent. You’re great, Logan. I know that is cold comfort. But you will find the strength to raise Alison’s boy, and one day he will look at you with her eyes and tell you that you are great.
