love letters and songs. He helped her write her music and learn how to lead a band with all her qualities. Everyone is reading this saying "Yeah, she road on his coat tails" or that she used him. So what? No one can say they never benefited from their spouses work or income. From what I can tell, Kurt did love her, even if it was just for a time.
