She was working in retail. Her usual gig.
Lots of things to do, steps to and from.
There’s always a playlist of pop songs.
Specifically curated — company subscribed.
This week was a new list. It’s always fun when
there’s a new playlist to listen to.
“Sorry…”
“Sorry…”
She felt a sting in her heart.
What are these lyrics?
Oh, wow… she started listening more.
Geez. These words are so heartening
but the music is so upbeat?!
Is he really sorry?!
Doesn’t sound sorry…
Maybe he should’ve composed
a sadder melody if he’s really
that sorry?
