Demoted From Muse to Memory

“Demoted From Muse to Memory"

I've always wanted to find another girl who had love songs written about her, mostly so I could ask what she did with them after the relationship was over. How did she reconcile being demoted from muse to memory? My ex-boyfriend released his favorite song, about the
strength ofour love, on Spotify four days before he broke up with me. The song kept being recommended. I forced myselfto listen. At first, I felt numb, the song sounding empty. Then it sounded like a sepia-tone photograph, dripping with nostalgia. Now over him, I don't hear anything anymore.-Julia James
