This song has been spot-on for me since I heard it in the 10th grade.
I had a teacher whose mentorship brought out a phenomenal level of talent in skills I did not know I possessed. Leading to a vastly different future from the one life and family had planned out for me. Through his 3 years of mentorship, being his star pupil was perceived as a teacher's pet. We shared our secret language of me entering class and putting on a song and he would respond with another song and we would talk through the music selections that day in his class. Often about heavy things I couldn't verbalize but the music could. He was much more of a help than any other adult in my life. His being a not quite young but very attractive man made him the feature in many of the girls I knew fantasies.
During these 3 years, he went through a rather messy divorce ( wife cheated proven) yet he was the one accused of cheating with me when it was debunked the stink of it still hung around him. He was such a phenomenal teacher and stand-up guy in the community, that it didn't stain his reputation much just lowkey gossip.
I always had a crush on him and admittedly he starred in many of my fantasies. After graduation, I spent the summer house-sitting for him before I headed to college. He came back just before I left and I approached him when we were alone in his house. He turned me down. I asked why he never touched me despite my obvious hints these past years. He played this song (music was a language we both shared ). He said he was not immune to my charms but he was the adult and what I felt was not love in the way I thought it was. He loved me enough in another way to not take advantage of that. He told me to go off enjoy college have some experiences and we can revisit this convo when I was 25.
We revisited it at 25 over a nice dinner in a restaurant where others kept assuming we were a couple. This man I have known since I was 16 pretty and precocious. By then I understood what he meant and what a good thing he did for me. We never consummated the growing physical attraction between us and continued to be as we always were until he died. He was the first man in my life who desired me that I can look back on and say without a shadow of a doubt loved me.
@Azubloo What a beautiful and encouraging story you have presented. I agree that he truly loved you. Moreover, he loved you enough and had the integrity to keep the relationship a platonic one. He sounds like a very decent and respectable person, and that he helped you become one as well. Beautiful.
