I thought, briefly, about once again avoiding the obvious (for me) choice, although this time it's less about being unpredictable and more that I don't think anyone but me and possibly her want to read what is about to be a total ridiculous love letter.

But then a friend IM'ed me, told me to check out an acoustic version of the song I'd been planning on not posting to avoid sop, and I'll take that as a sign.

[livejournal.com profile] mayqueen517 and I have an incredibly uncomplicated complicated relationship. I think I'd feel okay calling her my soulmate even if I didn't have a single romantic feeling for her. There are only a few relationships in my life that can even begin to compare, and all of them are with people I've known 10+ years. I've cut people out of my life for way less than the mess we made when we broke up, but I spent the whole time I tried to do that missing being her friend.

Anyway, way back when we first started talking, my only fannish activity was for Bon Jovi, and she was trying to coerce me into Def Leppard fandom (she succeeded). This is one of the first songs she sent me, both this cover and the original version, and I don't think I've ever once listened to it without thinking of her, sometimes in a good way, sometimes bad, but never avoidable.
