I have a song that's mine. When I need it to, it completes me. I can listen to it on repeat 100 times (and I've come fairly close) and notice something new about it every time; it never loses its luster. What I like most about it is its immunity to negative association. When I hear it serendipitously I always feel good. Rather than remind me of the state I was in when I last sought it out, it reminds me of feeling better. Free. Whole.
Everyone deserves such a mate. What's funny is that it chose me. I heard it once and let it go with a 'meh', and it kept coming back, there for me, until I realized what it was and that I needed it more than ever.
