Watch me burn....

"Just gonna stand there and watch me burn...But that's alright because I like the way it hurts...," the laptop sang and so did I. It was dark and we were on the phone chit chatting.

I felt, over the phone, that he is looking at me.

"Just gonna stand there and hear me cry but that's alright because I love the way you lie...," the laptop continued and I turned the volume up.

He looked at me again. This time he sighed audibly before turning back to what we were talking about.

Eminem started rapping, and I lost myself somewhere in the beat.

"Why do you like sad songs?" his voice brought me back.

"It's not really a sad song," I replied while turning the volume down.

"Of course it is, the woman is talking about burning herself, what more do you want?" he asked seriously.

I chuckled at his response.

"I am serious, why do you like such depressing songs?" he asked again.

"This one, has deep lyrics, so it attracts me," I responded vaguely.

"What deep lyrics... the guy is bad to her and she loves him for that?"

"She doesn't love him for that, but she loves him anyway," I replied.

"But it doesn't make sense," he replied with a confused tone.

I looked at him and said, "I hope this never makes sense to you, my dear."

I sighed, knowing fully how much the understanding makes my heart hurt. But my sigh was drowned somewhere in the music.
