A song for Rob

I've had the same song stuck in my head for the last four days. FOUR DAYS! What's up with that? I blame Rob. He put it there, sort of. He quoted some of the lyrics the other day and I recognized them immediately.

As annoying as it is to have a song stuck on repeat in your head, I know it's there because I won't let go of it. I like the song. It reminds me of good times. It reminds me of good people. So while I would really like to shake it out of my mind's ear now, I have a feeling that it's me who isn't letting it go. I've tried listening to other songs; I've tried getting them stuck in my head as a replacement but I just keep coming back to this one.

Why is it so hard for us to say,"I like you, but it's time for me to move on and forget about you. If I happen upon you again I will smile and enjoy you for the moment and then I will carry on. Having you in my head all the time just isn't right." Why is it so hard for us to change our tune?

Step out the front door like a ghost into the fog
Where no one notices the contrast of white on white
And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view
Of the crumbling difference between wrong and right
