Tapes

I've been lazy. Listening to one side over and over. In constant rewind, traveling to a better time. I realized so much more. Flipping the tape over. Following the sound of your voice. I smiled so much. It's not that I preferred one side over the other. Finding error in my mistake. In truth I thought things would never change. The world finding convenience. Music forever changed. The click of a tape being ejected now shared between us both. Lazily laying. The voice in my head singing along with yours. A long feeling that starts as brief. Enjoying song after song. Exclusively living in heaven. To sit with my headphones and listen to the only tape that reminds me of you. Our endless conversation. A fear of the tape jamming. Since then I've become lazy. Before and after buying batteries. In constant fear that any moment the cassette player will eat the tape. And I'll forever lose your voice
