Can you recall your first heartbreak? Was there a soundtrack?

Mine was my high school sweetheart. Music was his love language. His parting gift to me was a CD he made with the songs written out carefully. I wish I still had it. This song still makes me think of that time

I didn't experience true heartbreak until much later in life. It hurt. A lot. Once in a while now it's still like a fading bruise.

Our soundtrack was Leonard Cohen, and I couldn't listen to him for almost a decade.

@Mamapolo2016 Leonard Cohen is quintessential break up music

@Notladylike Too quintessential for me at that time. It was all for the best. I would never have been comfortable in his world.

And both he and my late excellent husband died of brain cancer within two years of each other.
