My favorite song

I have Heard it at every single part of my life
I’m figuring out a lot of things
I have never had a clear sense of self
But this one I’m sure on.
Now a lot of questions in life are easy to answer
Favorites all piling up
Candies
Movies
Drinks
What’s next
And then, I heard it
When I was kid
i didn’t think much
Just an older persons song.
Didn’t seem fitting
Knew the lyrics but never thought about the meaning
When I was a teen
When I was sitting in your truck at 2am and it played
It seemed fitting
For our situation
I remember thinking it was a coincidence since it had been stuck in my head for days already
Maybe it was a sign
Everywhere I turned there it was
When I was with my friends
It would play and no one knew how connected I felt
And I would stop to think of you
And to remind myself life’s not all that bad
Whenever I started to like someone
There it was to remind me
What I felt
It’s subtle tune
That sounded so happy
But had such a deeper plot
Almost a bad message
But damn was that tune catchy
When I was at the bar after I turned 21
When I was thinking of your bmw
And how we barely talk at all
That’s my fault probably
I thought about texting you
But I didn’t
When I was at work
Over the radio
And I thought about how sad you are
And wishing I could help
I had to learn the hard way with you though
I’m not god
And if I can only be here for a short time
I will let that song play all the way though
I can’t be your saving grace
But I can use your love
When I was at the grocery store
Trying to distract myself
From my own heart breaking
There it was again.
Old ladies hummed
And one guy In a ball cap even sang
Life’s not all bad
Everywhere, all the time.
It has been silently sitting in every part of my life
Without me even knowing
Until today
When I realized what something so simple meant to me
How it could make my flash back to every part of my youth
Every single relationship
Every single break up
Any time I was having a bad day
A good day
Or having a drink alone
Or with others
Out to eat with my parents
Every single sunny day in the car
And I could let my hair down and feel free while I let the words run through every vein I have.
Could be heard at Every amusement park bench
Or ride
Anywhere and always.
I’m still young enough
And it’s still playing On the radio
After all these years.
And I will turn the volume up every single time.
