A walk down the memory lane
Has it ever happened to you that whenever you listen to a song, it reminds you of someone or some incident that had happened in the past. Songs have always triggered me and brought back memories of people that I have buried deep down in my my heart. There is a song that reminds me of a person. it has been many years that he has passed away. He was someone's love, someone's dream. They had been in a relationship for 5 years and all of a sudden he just passed
away. whenever I listen to the song it takes me back to the day when I met him or the very first and last time. We were singing this song, sitting on a bench and having fun. There were four of us and we were so excited, it was raining and we were thinking about our future, their future. It shocks me to this day that the person is no more. His lover has fallen in love with someone else. They are happily married and yet here I am thinking of that person who was with us. I have always felt very attracted to people who can sing. So when my crush from 12th standard once sang the song from 'Ashique 2', I had no choice to fall in love with him. It was a perfect day. It was raining and we were all sitting in our classroom. Him with a guitar and I longingly listening to him singing the song. After that day, he used to send me songs now and then. we had become good friends. However, he only thought me as his friend but for me he was more than my friend. It was difficult for me to see him choose someone else over me and it definitely hurt. Still to this day, There are so many songs that remind me of him. The way he used to sing with his guitar, the way he used to mix two or three songs and create mashups. He is still a very good friend of mine. He is still there, we talk sometimes. He is in a steady relationship for five years and I hope that he finds his happiness the way I have found mine. There's another song that reminds me of a certain person. The song is 'Perfect' sung by Ed Sheeran. It was 2017 and there was this person who had told me that this was our song. It was the first time someone had made me feel important. I used to dream playing this song at our wedding. One day it all came to a stop when I understood that I don't have a future with him. I am just another girl in his life and he may have said the same things to do many others. It was difficult for me. There was a time when I couldn't listen to this song as it would bring tears to my eyes. That person is in a relationship with a perosn whom I have known for 7 years. Despite everything that I had shared with her, all my pain and sadness, she chose to be in a relationship with him. Everyone has their reaosns and everyone should get seocnd chances I think. Nowadays, I listen to that song. It reminds me that I was so naive and yet it makes me feel hopeful. Songs have always stayed by me side, it has made me strong, made me weak and made me vulnerable. Still songs have always triggered something deep within me that is hard to express.
