Soon-to-be-Innocent Fun/Let's See

I started watching the Arthur Russell documentary Wild Combination today and went out before I could finish it. When I got home, instead of going to where everyone else was I decided it would be best to make some of the leftover potato soup I have in my fridge because if I don't eat it all very quickly it will go bad and I really wanted some because it is excellent soup. So, while I was heating up the soup I listened to this song off of World of Echo that has the same title as the title of this entry and when I went to check on the soup (I needed to stir it and continue heating it four times) I created a melody based on what I thought the melody of this song was, even though it was not the right melody once I re-listened to it. The melody was meant to be sentimental, and so I wrote a little sentimental song based around it on a situation that seems so far removed to me but was so incredibly important to me at the time, as important to me as any relationship I've ever been in. I've been forgetting what it's like, to feel that pull to someone and for them to, seemingly, pull back. Like magnets. It's also partially an attempt at writing poetry, which I quit since I started writing songs because once I started writing songs writing poetry didn't really make any sense. Here is the thing, it is very sentimental:
