the song.

certain songs remind me of certain people, times, instances, breaths. 

almost like that moment is captured in a glass jar, lined up on the shelf of my heart.

and once that song is labeled to whatever it evokes, i cannot share that song with someone else in the same way because it is already linked to a memory. to have it mean anything else would be wrong, it wouldn’t make sense. it’s meaning is already established to me. 

and when i miss them, i listen to their song over and over. it helps me remember, it helps me forget. 

or numbs me…so i can only think of them. 

an entire human encapsulated by a single string of notes.

how precious.
