That One Song

No one taught me this about adulting that,

Sometimes, you won't be able to listen to a certain song for over 20 months,

Just because it reminds you of someone.

The same song that reminded someone of you,

That same song which got skipped for over 20 months,

That exact same song which plays when you randomly shuffle your music app when you couldn't find anything relatable to listen to and wondered if you could ask for a suggestion,

No one taught me how to deal with the skipping of songs,

How to listen to them back again,

For how long I was supposed to not listen to it,

How was I supposed to deal with the song being viral/trending on Instagram reels for months,

How to listen to it again without feeling empty?
