The Magnificence of Gravity on Our Hearts…
6th December 2024
Listening to Coldplay has brought back another memory. We’d finished setting everything up. There’d been a couple of times before then, where you held out your hand for me as I was coming down from a ladder, to make sure I came down safely. It was so kind and lovely of you. This was the very first time I held your hand.
Everything was done and both of us were home. I texted you and told you I was listening to Snow Patrol’s Wildness album. It had just arrived. You told me you were playing Coldplay’s Gravity on your guitar, and that it sounded good. I never told you this, but Gravity stirred something within me from that moment on.
Years later you told me you preferred Embrace’s Gravity, so I’m linking that one just for you my most adorable sweetheart. They’re both quite different, Coldplay are melancholic, Embrace more passionate. I’m resonating with Coldplay’s at the moment, especially this video.
I told you earlier this year about me remembering you playing Gravity that day, and also you playing Janis Joplin’s brilliant Piece of My Heart, after we’d enjoyed our first lunch together.
You were at work at the time. In the evening you’d played U2’s No Line on the Horizon album. You thoroughly enjoyed revisiting it and sent me Magnificent. It certainly is and I fell in love with it too, just like you. You always did lift me up. Was it just meant to be in this space in time?
Yes, U2 are absolutely right, only love can leave such a mark, and only love can heal its scar. I can feel the mark and it’s going to take a while for the scar to heal.
You also played Piece of My Heart on your guitar that evening. It didn’t take too long for it to come back to you. You sent me a recording. I think it might’ve been later. You sounded absolutely brilliant and so cool. I was extremely happy and very excited. As always you made my heart beam and burst.
My heart always jumped for joy whenever I heard you play. I was over the moon that you were having fun, doing what you love, and nourishing your precious soul. That’s all I ever wanted. For you to be happy and doing the things you love.
I remember so many magic moments with you my precious sweetheart, including meeting you for the very first time. It’s still fresh. I’ve never understood why or how I remembered so much. My memory’s not usually this good, but I seem to have unconsciously made lots of connections with you, and these memories are imprinted in my brain and heart. Just like our childhood memories of music, foods, programmes and all the other wonderful things. You are my wonderful one {} xxx
We do so many things unconsciously, we’re not always aware of it. We’re not aware of the why either. I think my soul must have known right from the start, well before I did.
Why is it that I’m seeing things with more clarity now that it’s ended?!! Coldplay’s The Scientist has just come to mind. Gosh, my tears are flowing as I’m listening to it. It’s too painful. I wish we could start again.
