Anyways, one night he flew back to the city to spend the weekend with him. I was in the bathroom, brushing my teeth I believe, him in the living room. Suddenly, I begin to hear music - a vaguely familiar melody that made my ears perk up immediately. I said to myself, "wait... Is that... No, it can't be. ... Is that ... Ayu??" I walk out and see him just casually sitting on the couch, looking at me. I ask him, "what is this?" He doesn't say a word. I continue walking over to the iPad he has hooked up to his surround sound system in his high rise New York City flat. Upon reaching the iPad, I see there is a small playlist of Ayu's music. Originally, I thought he had gotten into my iPod and randomly picked a song; but as it turned out, he had independently search iTunes and purchased tracks by her during out time apart. He told me he chose songs that interested him, and that the time had to be right to spontaneously play them. I was floored. Never in my life had I experienced someone take such an authentic interest to my own interests like that. Completely unpressured, unprovoked. During that moment in time, I felt the most love I have ever felt in my 27 years of existence.

Do you remember which song it was?
I can relate, the guy i'm in love with (who's also my ex because we've been together 3 times lmao) knows how much i'm into Ayu but never bothered to get the know the story I have with her or even listen to her a little. And that hurts me because to me if he's not even remotely interested in my "story" with her, it's like he doesn't care about me AT ALL.
Before him i had some kind of an ~internet love~ with a guy who was a complete a**hole but at least he genuinely tried to get to know Ayu and my other favorite artists so this is making things even worse, almost feels like this ass cared and loved me more than my current love
