Misshapen

How can you miss someone you never knew? Have the image of the person linger at the sound of a tune?

And to keep listening to that same song over and over, just so the image will stay and you don't have to miss them so much and the heart will stop aching.

How can the heart play such tricks on the mind, making nonsense valid and overcome the logical sense of things?

Each beat, each word, each strum of the guitar.

There are limited memories, and to you they are crystal. Holding on in your mind like the tremble of the last string and repeating with the first. Again.

Two words, accompanied with the lyrics of the slow, meaningful chorus.

How can you miss someone you never knew?  I guess it's just because you hope to know them so well.
