Been struggling to find the words to express my feelings about H and the conclusion of Love on Tour but here goes:
5 shows
3 venues
2,616 miles driven
$$$$$ spent on tickets/travel/merch
1 chicken nugget thrown on stage
1 fly undone for six songs
4 Medicine performances
1 Kiwi x3 performance
1 hat kicked onto his head
Tons of singing, dancing, laughter, screaming, pride flags, boas, bananas, butterflies, sunnies, rainbows, sparkles, and pure joy
A million tears cried listening to SOTT, Fine Line, Little Freak, and Matilda live
Infinite happy memories to last a lifetime
1 incredible tour
My heart is both full and broken. I’m grateful for the experiences but sad that it’s over. Happy that H can take a well-deserved break but knowing how much I’ll miss him.
I can’t predict the future. I don’t know what he’ll do or how long he’ll be gone. I don’t know if he’ll ever be able to replicate this era of his career again or if he’ll exceed it. What I do know is I plan on being here when he gets back, be that in a few months or a few years.
To H, I would say: thank you for the music, thank you for the love, thank you for the memories but most of all, thank you for being you. I hope you never stop bringing light into this world.
