Meeting you was like
listening to a song
for the first time
without knowing
it would be
my favorite
Getting to know you
was like playing the song
three times in a row
thinking “I really like this”
then putting it on repeat
Falling in love with you
was like blasting the song
in my room while
scream-singing and dancing
in your oversized t-shirt
Being in love with you
was like hearing the song
in somewhere other
than my room
and singing along
almost as loud as I can
with whomever
not caring what anyone thought
Breaking up with you
was like listening to the song
but pressing skip
instead of replay
and feeling tears
start to flow
down my cheeks
as I instantly regret
pressing skip
You moving on only a month after
was like hearing the song
but pausing it
and sitting empty
in the silence
rewinding my memory
to the best times
of my entire life
You saying that you can never love me again
is like hearing
the opening notes
and sitting on my bed
feeling tears well in my eyes
and by the chorus
be sobbing
instead of singing.
