Remember that time?
Spotify recommended this song (Always" by Armaan Malik and Calum Scott) to me a couple of days back. I had never heard it before but, strangely, it made me nostalgic. Maybe they don't write songs like this anymore, maybe it was because I was playing it on loop for my daughter during her nap... whatever the reason, it took me back. Back to a time when we said these things to each other. When we spoke in absolutes. When we made absolute promises. "Always." "Forever." "All my days. All my nights." We were newly in love, but we were so sure! Oh, it was a time when we needed nothing else, and nobody else. This person was our everything. We just floated through life, everything and everyone else a blur. Eyes focussed only on that one person. Only their opinion mattered. Only their feelings were important. And, of course, their presence. What a time it was, when the only thing we expected from each other was presence! No words, no actions, no demands.
