Have you ever heard a song
that takes you places
nothing else can?
A song that brings back memories,
and people,
and a love that seems familiar
but belongs to a person you once were.
Have you ever heard a song
over 5000 times?
I have.
I do it to remember
who we were
when you weren't sick.
When we were happy.
I do it to remember that
at some point
things have to go back.
Things will get better,
and I say it every day,
because we can't forget.
I listen to remember.
