there's a specific song
that reminds you of someone
of some place
of something that hurts you
made you smile
or even
cry
with every lyric
and every beat
it feels like turning
the hands of time
repeating the same scenes
all over again
under the yellow light
wiping tears in your eyes
facing the impending goodbye
"now I can't go on without you--
I'm not that strong without you--
now look what you've done"
and with that
bringing me back
with so much in my chest
"the way I do..."
