My Favorite Song

Mar 27th, 2025 by thegooddoctor in 100 Words

My favorite song died recently. I can still hear the tune in my head, or at least the echoes of it when I’m not concentrating too hard. I fool myself it’s still alive in the world somewhere. The melody slips into my mind, like it’s drifting off my tongue or from out of my throat or maybe from inside my stomach, like heartburn.

I can’t believe I’m never going to hear my favorite song ever again.

People tell me I’ll find a new favorite song. That someday I’ll learn to love it just as much.

I hope that’s not true.
