This is when I fell in love. It was 1984. I had just gotten moved into a new apartment (after narrowly escaping a house fire in which I lost all my possessions) and my new apartment was still pretty empty but a bed, my cat and my brand new MTV. It was late at night. This video came on, and I was - spellbound. The was his eyes that stopped me first. Turquoise. Like the shallows of a Caribbean ocean. But it was the smile, the hint of a smile that knocked me off my feet. He didn’t look like he smiled a lot. He looked like an otherworldly creature, an alien, a foreboding angel, all angles and long limbs, like he had secret black wings folded under his raincoat. But that smile, that fraction of an almost apologetic smile, the uncertain smile of a boy, is what punctured me. I sat glued to the Tv, hoping for more. Little did I know then, that only a few months later , that smile would be mine. It would be for me. It would be mine for thirty years. I still miss you. I still cry when I think of you. I still cry when I speak of you. I hope I always will. #ricocasek #somethingtograbfor #loveneverdies #grief Video directed by @luisaira924
