She has A music box. It is beautifully crafted of cherry wood lacquered to a deep glassy finish. One can stare into the lacquered finish and see forever. When opened the music box plays Chopin's Etude in E Major (No Other Love). This becomes our love song.
The music starts lively, bright and full of hope and love and youth. The music quickly reaches mid-life and then slowly winds down, the beautiful notes becoming farther and farther apart as someday we must. We promise in our hearts to think of each other when we hear 'No Other Love'.
I played it a few times yesterday and thought of her.
