Last night I heard our song

[Nik137]

Last night I heard our song.
It's been years all together too long.
It made me ponder, reflect and tear,
The mere thought of you is what I fear.

I'm scared to let the memories invade me,
Scared to think I made a mistake,
let you go,
I shouldn't have.
The song made me realize
how much I need you so.

NO!

This is what is dangerous,
this is why I hate that song,
why I locked away our memories,
I hardened my heart so I would be disabled,
to love,
you.
Only you.

The mass of people whom surround me
are meaningless to me,
If I am unable to love, you.
Why is it that I can't let go of you!
It's been years all together too long,
and last night... I heard our song.
It made me ponder, reflect, and tear,
The mere thought of you is what I fear.

letting go is the hardest thing. it's hardest to admit to ourselves that we made a mistake, that we somehow failed. but not letting go is even more damaging. it's better to admit it wasn't meant to be, or even to admit we fucked up, than to let bad memories fester in our heart. great piece, something i've had to deal with in the past, and i'm sure something that will arise again in the future.

Me and my ex had the song picked out that was going to be our wedding song. Every time i heard it, it made me so happy that i almost couldn't contain the emotion -- this was the person i was going to spend the rest of my life with. i kept thinking, what's it like, 10 or 20 years down the road, to hear that song, and look into that person's eyes, and still feel what you felt that day?

But he's my ex for a reason. And we didnt get married. And even though we promised to be friends, i haven't heard from him in 2 years. And now when i hear that song, it breaks my heart and makes me angry at the same time. And i think 10, or 20 years from now, it still will. It will always make me remember why i hate him.

the guy i'm with right now, for the past year and a half, who i love dearly... we dont even have a song. its kinda sad, when you think about it. what is it, about a song, that can carry so many memories, and so much emotion?

Songs are so powerful in regard to relationships because they can help to clearly define the emotion those people feel for each other.
try and define love, hard isn't it? the song, in a way, can kind of do that for you. it just ties together everything you feel.
i know exactly what you both mean about letting go, he is my ex for a reason as well. unfortunatley i wish i could remember why i left him when i heard that song, what it does to me is make me remember why i fell in love with him. it brings back a flood of good memories, i just wish it would bring back a flood of bad ones... then i wouldn't miss him whenever i heard it.

that's what it is in the end, just memories, whether they're good or bad. I used to fear listening to certain songs, but then later I realised, whatever it is - it's the past and I've got much more to look forward to in the future

i like your work.
