“I’m here without you baby, but you’re still on my lonely mind,
I think about you baby, and I dream about you all the time,
I’m here without you baby, but you’re still with me in my dreams,
And tonight, it’s only you and me.”

There’s a song called “Here Without You” by 3 Doors Down, which is one of mine and Hari’s personal favourites. We first discovered it on YouTube, as it happens, through a machinima made in World of Warcraft which uses it as the main theme song, and it’s stuck with us ever since.

The song is about missing a loved one, and while I listen to it a lot when Hari is around, if she’s away I often find it really hard to listen to since I’m constantly reminded of her and it makes me miss her so much. It’s a very moving song and it nearly had me in tears once when she was staying with her parents and I was on my own in Bradford. Often, if she’s not around and iTunes randomly picks the song, I skip to something more upbeat.
