a song you like that reminds you of someone you'd rather forget about
"I Won't Give Up" by Jason Mraz

OOOOF. This is a hard one. And a long story ... but, just imagine in you're in your 20s, there's that guy you always liked, who finally admits he likes you back, but timing never worked to try something out as you both weave and in and out of being available. Then nearly 10 years later, you reconnect, he's getting a divorce, you're fully single. You're both new people but still feel the same, but it's still hard to find the right time and you're afraid to push yourself until someone gives you a pep talk and you decide to just fucking go for it. Feelings be damned.

This song became my anthem after that pep talk ... and yet. I was burned once. Again.

I still love this song, and it took a few years to get past it. Though I sometimes still get bitter and hate the guy.
