"We were both young
When I first saw you."
Our take match
on Spotify (when you were still,
then, the apple of my eye)
was 58% I laughed in your face,
your lack of taste.
The song: Love Me Like You Do
And you, loved me
like
you
did.
"What are you waiting for?"
One year later "you got your
first car" promised "you
and I would go for a drive."
You let me play the music,
feet on the dashboard
songs I curated for you.
You knew all the words.
Regina Spektor: Don't you know "I loved
you first?" (You were shocked that I decided I loved you first, but
I did). Didn't you hear me beg you to just "take a
seat as you said you want to stand?"
Our taste match, that
summer? 98% Your top
artist? Taylor Swift. I forgot
she was half the world's favorite singer. She
was just ours.
Don't you understand how it hurt
When you knew You're
Losing
Me
before I played it for
you?
Do you know what it's "like
third-wheeling in your
own
relationship?"
Why couldn't you
"stop?"
because Love
"you're losing me."
You don't know this part,
the way I look, the way
Spotify has become a lifeline
my one high, our communication time,
a celestial sign: who are you
now?
One day our taste match
89%
Say Don't Go because
"I would stay forever if
you said
don't
go."
The way I look for our
my songs, are you playing
She's Mine for her? Is she
"funny and clever and kind? Does
She say whatever pops in her mind?"
Do you know how special I felt when
you knew all the words?
Your "one-hand feel on
the steering wheel,
the other on my heart?"
Do you know that's "the closest I've come to
my heart exploding" when you said it made you
think of me? I Bet You Think About
Me. Taste match 86% and you're
free
from
my
sad
girl
music
"and I hope you're happy
(just not like how you
were with me)."
79%
Still
falling
down.
Your songs sound happy
I don't know them
must be radio hits
not Taylor Swift.
Do you look, do you see that
"this is why I broke up with you?
Do you realize you're too high to care?"
That I know, I knew, that
"you're not really there"
you're not there
anymore.
Love,
"I want you to be happier."
Our top match
still
a reminiscence
a reminder
"I can't find a pulse. My heart
won't start anymore
for
you."
