I’ve learned, taught, forgot, started and quit, won and lost, hated and loved. I mind my p’s and q’s, even though the ladies’ room doesn’t ever seem to mind me nearly peeing its queue…. Snapchat. SnapBack. Aflac. Big Mac. Track your package with OnTrac. TicTac. Snack pack. Cyberattack. Don’t forget to take your stimpak. My government officials have wishlists that Veruca Salt herself couldn’t rival. It’s no wonder everyone’s fighting for basic survival. And I remember when those around me wanted to give me peace of mind, instead of giving me a piece of their mind… Chris Pratt. Doormat. Non-fat. Whiplash. Call the number on your screen now for free cash. Grab ass. Kit-Kat. Lab rat. Smokestack. There are some things we’ll never be able to get back.
This was nice to hear, especially now. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWhy "especially now"?
ReplyDeleteShe can't give it up because she cares too much. Yet caring too much can be a reason he gives that she should (give it up.)
DeleteIt's weighed on my conscience that opportunities in love have slipped by me because the timing was wrong.
Is it better to cling to resistance and insist on what the heart wants, even when time is unfavorable, or to just “give it up”?
I don't know if it's better or worse. I wonder if the price you pay ends up roughly the same, either way.
This song evoked those memories: resistance to “giving it up,” as well as acquiescence to “giving it up.”
But denying the heart what it wants is one thing. Forgetting what it wants is something else.
It's satisfying to hear this reciprocated in such a haunting, but buoyant song. "Especially now," because these things have been on my mind.
Otherwise, one could be led to believe that they're the only person who ever feels this way. Everyone has a story like this in their lives, I'll bet, which is as melancholic as it is encouraging.
I see, said the blind man.
