I Can't Make You Love Me If You Don't

A few months ago my long-term boyfriend and I split because I decided to move to a different state for a job. He's the best man you could ever ask for and my heart still hurts when I think about the decision. Ever notice how when you first break your heart, it's this intense, all-consuming sort of emotional pain? I'm from Wisconsin and like most solid Mid-Westerners, we swallow our emotions well. Maybe I'm just actually emotionally delayed, but lately the heart break is this constant ache that wasn't there a few months ago. Music has been a huge solace and this video I found today has been on repeat all day. Bon Iver is a good Wisconsin boy so I have extra love for him.

Heartbreak is the worst. And it hurts even when you're the one doing the heartbreaking. For a long while after I broke up with Poster Boy, any sort of heartsick song would make my eyes well up. I have a very distinct memory of the song ain't no sunshine when she's gone coming on the radio in the first week after I moved out. I lost it.

And I luvs bon iver. That's some nice falsetto, boy.
