Oh Hiii, Mark
Songs for When You’re High and in Love
...And I may happen to be one of those.
Imagine... a few years long ago... you just met the love of your life but you don’t know it at first. All you know is that he has the best smile in the whole world and the first time you laid eyes on him, you felt as if you had known him for longer than you’d been alive.
He is almost your first everything. You’ve never been in love before. You’ve waited and not settled. Then this prince shows up. A strapping young man. Intelligent and deep.
You spend the summer stealing away from work and your dad’s place to meet. You make love in a hammock in the forest. You skinny dip in a lake at two in the morning. Countless adventures. Too many to mention.
The highest you’ve ever been has nothing to do with drugs. It’s when you whisper in his ear those three important words in your driveway on a balmy summers eve. And he says he feels electricity and honey and warmth wash over him.
And you dance in your room and smile in your sleep that night.
You first captured his attention when you hopped into a fountain on your first date and got your doc martins soaked. “I like to keep things interesting,” you say with a grin. That was the moment of the first of hundreds. One passionate kiss down, nine hundred and ninety-nine to go.
And now, years later, through bad trips and heartache, you can’t help but smile hearing the music of your young love and your heart-high.
...Though your eyes may leak a little.
