Fallin’ – Jessica Mauboy
I remember this Uber ride like it were yesterday—Tyler and I had been walking around for an hour as the camping site was allegedly “very close” to Kylie’s house. It was not. We had been wandering based off of his memory alone and we finally entered the address into Google Maps, and alas, we had been going in the opposite direction. Normally, I would be angry at whoever had wasted my time, but I couldn’t be… Not at him. I remember laughing so hard as he was genuinely baffled that he was wrong.
We caved and ordered an Uber as we were exhausted from walking all day, and couldn’t bare another 45+ minutes as we were already so late to this party… This song started playing on the radio as soon as we entered the vehicle and I told him immediately that it reminded me of us. He held my hand as we drove to Kylie’s house and silently listened to this song, and it became a sacred ballad to our relationship.
I look back now and I can’t believe I wasn’t angry about that kiss. He did actually tell me on our last night in Sydney together, and I wasn’t bothered at all. I just figured it was all part of a drinking game and all in good fun, and that there wasn’t anything more between them. I blindly trusted him even though I didn’t have reason to anymore. But I guess I was only eighteen and didn’t know any better. Lesson learned.
