I once went to a concert with my future wife to see Rufus Wainwright. Upon walking in I saw my ex-girlfriend and her date. I wasn't yet over that relationship even though I was starting a very important new one. During the concert I enjoyed the company of my future wife very much and was glad that it was her at the show with me.

That said, I had listened to Rufus's album Poses many times with my ex. In fact, for a good while we had sex to it regularly. Those songs were charged with emotion. It was a confusing show.

What made me buy those tickets? What made my ex buy those tickets? Was it both our way of saying "I'm over this?"

Well, regardless of the "why" I ended up crying during Poses, the song.
