SOMETHING

There are things you want to hide in a box with a lock and a sign saying ‘Do not touch. Too expensive.’ The same goes for the smell of leather after touching it, that very emoji in the messenger, and the playlist that for some reason you understand better than anyone else.

A song is like an attempt to prevent memories from slipping through your fingers. Wrap it in a blanket, seal it with tape that says ‘forever’ and ‘please don't disappear.’ Because it's not every day that something comes along that you don't just like, but that finally clicks.

A little naive, a little cinematic. But I want it to stay. At least in the song.
