I Love You

Hello You,

I hope this is not that too late for Valentine’s.

When I created this playlist, I thought I was creating a playlist about what it feels like to fall in love. But then someone told me that she cried while listening to it, and I didn’t understand why. So I played it again and I saw it too. I unconsciously built a sad playlist.

A story started forming in my head as the songs went on.

It wasn’t about two people who found love and held onto it. Its about two people who found themselves back to each other at what they thought was the right time—when the spark was undeniable. They thought they were lucky to find each other. But slowly, they began to realize that no matter how much they tried to align, bend, and adjust, they were just not meant to fit.

They keep holding on tighter, refusing to believe it’s slipping away. Even when trust starts to crack. Even when doubts creep in. They tell themselves this is the last time—but it never is. Because the feeling is rare, intoxicating, something they never thought they’d find. And once they have it, they can’t bear to let it go. So they stay. They keep coming back, even when it hurts.

But then—something shifts. The hurt dulls, replaced by something colder. Resentment. Anger. And that’s when they finally let go—not with sadness, not with regret or heartbreak, but with a quiet kind of certainty.

Of course, if an apology had come back then, they might have crumbled. Might have fallen back into that same cycle. But now? Now, it’s too late for an apology.

That’s the story that played in my head as I listened to it. Maybe it’s just my mind connecting the songs into something bigger than it was meant to be. Either way, I’d love to hear your thoughts—does this remind you of any real-life stories or maybe a movie you watched? And if you listened to the playlist, did it tell you a different story?

Yours,
Me
