This ONE song.

This ONE Song

You know that moment? The movement when your favorite emotional song comes on shuffle and you automatically feel like you’re in a Lifetime movie? The best part- you’re on an airplane, and it’s taking off at the exact moment.  Or maybe you have to manipulate your iPod as the song synchronizing a little more nicely- for that added effect.  Nonetheless, you’re in that moment and through your headphones and heart, you think about everything.  EVERYTHING. Death. Joy. Love. Future. Failure. Passion. During this one song.

You’ve carried yourself away in thought.  Your mind is overwhelmed, and you love it.  You’re excited to feel.  You’re anticipating the next thought.  You don’t know which subject to invest the most time in.  You don’t care. You feel for a moment- your movie moment.  You look stupid to the world outside.  You’re acting way too dramatic, Grey’s Anatomy wouldn’t include you in an episode.  But you can’t help it.  Or you don’t try. During this one song.

Pictures come to mind and memories are rediscovered.  You laugh at your ridiculous life.  You thank God for your ridiculous life.  You secretly hope somebody can understand your thoughts completely. Then you realize how magical “self contemplation” is.  During this mini movie moment (nice alteration, huh?)  You have felt over fifty emotions and made a fool of yourself on twenty different accounts based purely on your facial expressions. During this one song. 

You assume the people wonder what you're listening to, because based your reactions to it- it holds the secrets to living and answers to life.  Then you realize- NOBODY is looking at you. People are whispering “nice to meet yous”. They’re doing sudoku in pen because they can. They are ordering soda because it’s free.  And you?  You just relived your life.  During this one song. 

Then the song ends.
