I missed my wife yesterday.

Or rather the person she was when we dated.

奏 was playing on YouTube when I put the finishing touches on my writing. It stirred something within me, so I swept away the cobwebs of my mind, desperate to recall where I had heard this song before.

A sudden wave of realisation came over me, and a smile slowly spread across my face. She used to sing this song at karaoke - in that intoxicating, determined voice of hers.

Used to? Because she claims to have outgrown karaoke. (Whatever that means.)

奏 ended up on repeat mode that night. Listening to it was tinged with a curious mix of familiarity and loss.
