It was getting a little late, most of the classes at my college were already over. All I had to do was pack up my sheet music and head back to my dorm.
The days events came flodding back.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I remembered how awful the past ten hours had been. Id been caught between two friends in an argument, I’d slipped on a puddle and gotten my music all soggy, and worst of all, I saw my crush with his new girlfriend. The last one came down hard. I sank to my knees on the music room floor and cried.
It was just one of those days where everything seemed hopeless. I sat there just feeling what I had to, when I looked up at the piano.
Music has always been my escape from the worlds problems. I took a shaky step to the bench and sat down, my tears slowing down. I lowered my hands to the keys and wondered what to play.
Retry. That’s what I’d play. The song I wrote for my crush Cory. The one I’d fantasized our life too.
I started the gentle intro and started to sing along…
”can I Retry,
Our bright past,
That late July,
and the memories that last,”
The tears started flowing again as I remembered last July when I’d met him.
“Forget what I’d done,
And get a fresh start,
Instead I get none,
And you get my heart.”
I rested my hands on the keys and stopped the song. I could live without him. Heck, I don’t need him. I packed up my stuff and walked out the door. I looked back at my college building.
I would focus on school, on my passion for music, I will be satisfied with who I am by myself.
I walked home humming the song as a last goodbye to my feelings for him.
