143 - x365 Daniel T

You hobbled into my life in 3rd year of University. We'd had classes together, but one day you decided to open up to me about your love of Sacred Choral music, and how you were a medical miracle, and you owed your life to God and wanted to spend the rest of it praising Him through composition. You asked me if i would mind singing soprano for your pieces. i accepted, because you seemed almost sad when you asked. Your pieces needed work, clearly written by someone who did not sing or have any understanding of vocal phrasing. The last time we spoke, you told me you were waiting to recieve admittance into the priesthood. I will always wonder if your decision was based by an underlying fear of being alone.
