I hope this doesn’t go against any rules.

This is just a shitty phone recording, but I feel like I wrote the song I needed to hear.

I was going for a bit of a classic jazz standard vibe after a breakup I had last week. Some backstory:

I had been dating someone for a a few months, and one night after having a bit of a not quite dead bedroom, I asked if she was still attracted to me, and she just cried. She said she was frustrated because she thought I was perfect, but something just wasn’t clicking. Sometimes that’s how it is. We still cuddled that night, and in the morning we ended things quickly and graciously.

I miss her smell.

I hope this resonates with some of you, and I welcome feedback.
