i confided in my friend about something i could've gone another 20 years not ever saying. he was scanning through his music on his phone and asking if i had heard certain songs. most i had, he's had the same taste in music as long as i've known him. he'd laugh if i hadn't heard something "so obviously awesome" and continue through the list. he came to a song that instantly triggered tears. i wrote about it a while back and how that reaction is pretty standard. what he didn't realize was that the unpleasant memory tied to that song involved him in a very big way. i was afraid it would freak him out that all these years later it still gets at me but i don't think it did. humorously he asked me what other songs make me burst into tears and then find them, lol.
in regards to that song i told him everything about it, how horrible i felt and the days after. his exact words? "i remember that day, you looked amazing. i knew you did it on purpose so i wouldn't forget. and you were right, i didn't". considering how his memory is now, i'm always impressed when he remembers something i figure he'd consider piddly or pointless. he surprises me with the things he does remember. he knows i remember just about everything about everything. most people would get all weirded out by details and facts but i think in a way he enjoys it because he can relive things he's forgotten (just because, not because he's horrid) and have a laugh again.
