When I was 15
I heard a song
That I though I'd love
For all along.

But by 20 that song
Didn't have the same ring
It sounded wrong
It didn't bring
The same feeling.

I  told the next song I loved
That this love probably woudn't last
The song and I pushed and shoved
Soon the song was of the past.

A near decade I went through some songs
Hardly a week, a month...not long
Every beat sounds good
In a drunken whirl
But all they did, was make me hurl.

And now nearing 30
I have come into my own.
Happened upon a song
That's been playing a near two years long.

I wasn't obsessed. Didn't play it on loop
The song, a subtle soundtrack
A swift shot through the hoop.
