Selfless Songs

Songs have the ability to understand my emotions. Sometimes they are even capable of extracting them and keeping them safe.
Time moves on, but when that one song entertwined in that heavy emotion comes on, the song almost persuades me to accept those emotions once again.
And then I do, for just a minute, let the emotions wash over me. I revisit all the pain, the sadness or the joy and madness.
Then I offer the song, the emotions once again—it accepts them. No questions asked. Until the next time the radio gods decide it's time for me to revisit those days, those  emotions, I am back in the real world.
