The moments in our Love that I can see in my head

Spring and Layette

I had gone up to see Siouxsie at Formula so many time now. It was the start of my career and Siouxsie was a big part of me breaking into the music biz. I loved her for that. Her office was a thin little sliver of a room with piles of promo photos and press releases stacked every where. It was a mess. Siouxsie had the smallest little piece of an office at the end of the room, but she had the window. On the this particular day I came to visit her when I sat down in her little room in front of me to my left was this woman/girl in a big loose sweater and large thick glasses and long black hair. She seemed closed off to anyone talking to her but Siouxsie introduced us. She looked up and maybe at that moment it happened. I said hello and she said her name was Susan. Great but I kept on, Susan was Asian, I asked her where she was from, and she said she was from Korean. I asked Is Susan you Korean name, said no it Soo Hyun. I was like Soo Hyun that’s a great name; you should be Soo Hyun not Susan and the rest of the gang in the office agreed. From then on Susan became Soo Hyun. You looked at me kind of irritated but you smile may have hooked me right then. Your beautiful smile your amazing oval eyes, your thick lips. I clearly remember walking out of that office thinking of you. I can see that moment so clearly now. I got in the weird elevator, got down to the street at spring and Laffette on that spring day not knowing that my life had changed.
