Falling in love with you was like finding your new favorite song.

The first time you listen to the song, you let every word hit you with no second thoughts. You listen to the way the melody pulls on the words so gently and lets them fly throughout the chorus. I'll listen to a song on repeat for hours if I love it so much. The words will be memorized within two days, just so I can have the joy of singing along at the top of my lungs. Falling in love with you was just this way, gentle and earnest.

But it was never the love you had to try at, it was like finding a job that makes you happy everyday. Where trying too hard was never a necessity, it was purely effortless. When your hand rested in mine I knew it was something you couldnt find twice, the missing piece to my puzzle. The thing that I needed for the rest of my days.

I remember the feeling of looking over at you in the driver seat in your pick-up, the way your smile came so easily and your head would bob gently to the rhythm of the song. I remember the excitement pounding through my chest when I would see you round the corner. The look in your eyes when I dressed up for something important. There are some things you can't find in people, but I found them all in you.

But the problem with loving a song so hard, so fast? You wear it out, till one day you just can't listen to the words with the same excitement anymore, the same passion. You keep it on your playlist, without the same appreciation for it and sometimes you even begin to skip over it.

Falling in love with you, was a walk in the park, a summer breeze on a hot day, and the feeling of hot chocolate warming your chest on a cold one. Something Ill always appreciate and never think less of. And for that Im forever thankful, and our song will always be my favorite.

Songs are easy to let go, people are not.
