Romantic Vulnerability — Letters to the One Who Makes Me Misty
A reflection on romantic vulnerability through a soulful jazz interpretation of “Misty.”
“Misty” is what happens when romantic vulnerability makes you lose your edges—in the sweetest way.
It’s overwhelming. It’s intoxicating. It’s confusing. It’s joyful. It’s that can’t-think-straight kind of love.
This song uses these perfect metaphors—being lost, helpless, floating, getting misty-eyed—because that’s what real emotional gravity can do. It makes you feel like you’re standing on earth… but your spirit is hovering.
And I love that it doesn’t pretend to be in control.

The letter behind this song
This is a letter to the one who shifts your nervous system…
Not with chaos. Not with confusion.
But with presence.
- the kind of love that makes the room feel softer
- the kind of closeness that makes you sentimental without warning
- the kind of connection that makes you quiet—not because you’re afraid… but because you’re full
That’s “Misty” to me: joyous surrender without self-abandonment.
