The meaning of songs

We were talking those songs that have a special meaning between two people. You know, it's a silly old idea, one listens a song, dedicates the song to his or her beloved, he or she loves the long, and the song becomes the original sound track of their love. Until the day then the love starts to crumble and the meaning of the song changes: it no longer symbolises the love we have, but the love we lost. We assumed that most people have such songs, at least one. I don't know about the rest of the people, but although it will never be meaningless to listen to those songs, I still like to listen to them quite a lot. There was a time when listening to such songs would cause me pain, but that time was fortunately brief. Nowadays I get to listen to them, to remember what they used to mean, and although I don't feel extremely happy, I'm cool with it. They remind me what I have lost, yes, but also what I once got, and what I once achieved. And that kinda evens it out.
