Farewell, for now

I’ve been staring at this screen for a while now, unsure of how to even begin to write this.

NEET, Glen, or Andrew, Mosu, whichever alias you want to be addressed as, you’ve continued to have a huge impact on my life ever since I first discovered your music. I still remember. My friend on facebook shared your Dream Keys song, “I’m Still in Love With You.” I fell in love with the way your emotions were conveyed so..so legitimately and fluidly. It’s as if I could feel your pain. It inspired me. I dove a little deeper and I found that you made more than just piano instrumentals, and I found myself becoming more and more obsessed with your music.

At first, everything was great. I listened to your music and I was happy and I was content with life. I remember when you first started streaming, you were streaming league and I was watching. I managed to snag your IGN and I persuaded you to play some games with me and my group. We invited you to our skype call and that was the beginning of our friendship. I remember how impressed you were with our skills at league when in reality we weren’t and still aren’t that great. It was awesome getting to play with someone I looked up to as an inspiration.

As the months dragged on, life got a little harder for me and I started to become depressed. I was no longer happy but I continued to listen to your music. You know how they say if you listen to certain music during periods of your life, when you hear those songs again you are reminded of them? So many songs of yours have my memories attached to them. So many sweet ones, bitter ones, sour ones. So many memories. 

My last relationship ended recently. I actually began writing this series because of her and because of you. When I found out that Dream Keys was strictly improv, I was inspired. And my girlfriend at the time loved reading, so I decided to start writing improv to your music. There was no predetermined plot, I just began writing. I so desperately wanted to make something meaningful and something my girl would enjoy reading. And this is what became of those yearnings.

I’m writing this now because I know you’re going through a rough time. We’re friends, even though we haven’t met in person. You mean a lot to me and I’m rooting for you, bro. I know you can pull through and I know you’ll be back better than ever. 

And so, I suppose it’s my time, as well. I no longer have the need to write anymore. Dream Keys is no longer. My relationship is also no longer. I’m bummed that I can’t release my emotions into my writing anymore, but I’m a little more bummed that I won’t be able to click that play button with excitement whenever you release something new. I won’t be able to listen to that last Dream Keys that you’re supposed to release. I can’t even listen to any of them because I never got to download them. 

So with that, this project is on hiatus for as long as you are, buddy. I appreciate how much you’ve helped me get through my lows, and I appreciate how much of my highs that I’ve been able to share with you. Thank you for making such amazing music that gave gave me feels, for making music that made me want to dance, for making music that made me want to sleep, for making music that made me want to relax..for making music. Thank you. It’s been about 2 years actually since I discovered your music, and so much of it has been influenced by you and your music. I can’t thank you enough.

Thank you, Neet. Andrew.

Maybe

warning: lonely ass emo thots ahead

I had a dream last night. You showed up in it for some strange reason. Well maybe its not so strange considering how you’ve showed up in my dreams before, but I guess it’s odd considering how long it’s been since I ever really had you on my mind.

I don’t remember much about the dream, but what I do remember is that I was holding you tightly, like I used to on your bed those Sunday afternoons all those months ago. I can still remember your room so vividly; I can still remember the smell of your skin, your hair, how soft and how gentle you felt wrapped up in my arms.

“I missed you.” 

Those were the words you told me in that moment.  

This is what I miss about a relationship. Getting to hold someone close to you, while knowing they loved you and longed to be near you just as much as you loved and longed to be near them.

But that wasn’t the case was it.

I mean, dating someone else 3 months after our breakup isn’t exactly a telltale sign of missing me.

Who knows? Maybe while you’re off on your food adventures with him, underneath it all you still miss “us”. Or maybe you only missed the attention, which is why you jumped into a relationship again so soon.

I’m no mindreader, so I guess I’ll never know how you really feel. 

As my curiosity often does, I found myself looking up your facebook and instagram, only to find I was blocked from viewing them.

Maybe you’re doing this because you found out I knew you were in a relationship, and you want to spare me the pain of seeing you with someone else. Maybe you’re not as cold and heartless as I made you out to be.

Again I’ll never know, and maybe some things are better left unsaid.

The question I do want answered however is, why? Why now? Why are you on my mind again all of a sudden?

Maybe it has to do with the fact that lately I’ve felt that my life is becoming more and more stagnant, while things seem so amazing and easy for you after all these months. Maybe it’s cause I still feel so lonely from time to time, while everyone else is doing their own thing or has that person there for them.

Maybe it’s cause no matter how many girls I talk to, my mind always seems to wander back to you. 

Or maybe it’s cause my birthday is coming up, and I’d still invite you to karaoke in a heartbeat, against my better judgement, because I know how much you loved to hear me sing to you. 

Whatever the case is, things aren’t alright as they seem. Or maybe they are; I’m just too caught up in the details to see it.

I’m not like NEET. I’d rather live in the cold hard reality of life than stay locked away in a dream or a fantasy. 

But nights like these make me long for the days I had with you. They make me wish, wish that maybe we could stay like this forever.

"Can we stay like this forever?" It was the last thing you said before I woke up, in tears. I hate when that happens. I wasn't sad at all, just a little irked. I dunno the correct word to explain it, but it's that "Fuck, are you kidding me right now?" feeling. Of all nights, you chose to appear tonight... I guess it's good to have a taste of feels every so now and then. I'd be lying if I said I didn't think about you. It happens occasionally, mostly when I take naps. Sometimes you show up, sometimes you don't. But the times you do appear in my dreams, we're always just...chilling. Like at a coffee shop or on public transit. In this dream, we were on the last train home and no one was there except us. Your head was on my shoulder and that's when you said it.... then I woke up, had a cigarette and recorded this song. You'll never hear this song. At least, I hope you don't. Hmm...maybe I'm lying to myself though... maybe I want you to hear it.... but it's not like I want things to be the way they were or something. It's just...part of me feels like holding on to that little piece of memory I have of us...that's all. I guess my heart wanted to open up again for some reason. I'm thankful for that at least. You always said to do what feels right even if you're nervous. Wherever you may be...I hope you're well and you're doing what you love. I hope you're with someone who takes care of you and loves you unconditionally. I hope your dreams come true and that you're waking up every morning with a smile. For now, I'll keep dreaming. It's a lot better than waking up.
