The first time I heard Portishead

a while ago
Description:
We had been secretly seeing eachother for over a year. Even though I lived 8 hours away and you were married and I had a live-in lover. We saw eachother rarely. But talked on the phone for hours at least once a week-- conversations I had a hard time explaining.
I was in NYC, your wife was out of town. We were in the bathroom and Portishead was playing. I remember being terrified that we would get caught even thought I knew it was impossible. Later on I took a cab to Union Station to catch my bus even though you gave me subway directions and told me I would be fine. I walked in the station and then walked right back out again. I bought the album as soon as I got home. I still think of you everytime I hear it even though it's 12 years later.
