my wish was for deafness
whenever I heard our music
all the memories flooded me
summer car rides and weekends
the times I would never forget
my playlist began to betray me
and there was no escaping it
I will not let myself hear
take the verses from my mind
now that you are gone
my heart can’t bear our songs

Share memories of times now at best conjuring melancholy. It’s funny how a whole soundtrack can disappear so quickly and only come back to remind us when a certain song comes on the radio years later.

Yes, so true. When you have so many good memories that may be sad to recall because of a changed circumstance, anything that reminds you of them (such ad music) is triggering.

I had this once but after a long time I feel I can listen to the soundtrack again and associate the good times and places with it and selectively ignore the less pleasant parts.

Of course, sometimes time can heal. I’m sure that I’ll get there eventually.
