23 and an Angel to Them
It's a dreary day and I have nothing on my calendar so I'm listening to the album The Great Divide by Noah Kahan (for the 5th time since it released just 4 days ago). Logan told me about Noah years ago because he said he thought I'd like him. You used to do that too. You always found these up-and-coming artists and shared the saddest unrequited love song with me - telling me you thought I'd like them... Anyway, there's a song on the album called 23 and the lyrics go something like, "If I never see you again then you could be anything I want. Twenty-three, clean, in the engine heat, teaching me how the thing runs." Of course it made me think of you. Of you and Eve specifically. Because she idolized you and every time you had something to work on, she'd be so excited to "help" you. And back then you were clean. You may have been a shit husband, but you were a good dad. It actually made me angry. It's a weird thing - greif. Sometimes it...
