The song that they shared
Has lost meaning after separation
He can’t listen to it now
Without an overwhelming feeling
Of betrayal and anger
He wants to shop around
For a new melody for the present
But which does not have
dubious antecedents
For he doesn’t want his heart
To be broken all over again.
Great poem x

music and scents bring back memories so hard to bury, but you are right a new song or to me a new scent will help.

I’m glad you had a good week! My Thanksgiving was good. I got to talk with some of my family for a while through video chat. It’s not the same as being able to be there physically but it definitely helps. 🤗❤️

We attach so many things in life to our relationships and when they falter and dissolve it’s difficult to hold on to the things we shared. Beautifully done, my friend.

I am so, so sorry to have missed this yesterday. You are right, so many memories attached to relationships that it is difficult to hold on and equally difficult to let go. Thank you so very much.

You captured this so accurately and beautifully! Music, scent, places – I remember all the bitter sweet triggers I would avoid after a break up.

Thank you so much.Though I would never wish anyone to break up (unless of course the relationship is toxic) but I really like how the list of triggers is expanding. I said music, Gina added scent and now you have added places! Are we onto another collab? Lol
