the locomotive, travelin' heart

So today I decided to listen to Pandora as I did some chores. Nothing unusual. And then the song "wherever you will go" played and it took me on a teeny time travel adventure. It took me way back to my early high school years. I had a boyfriend that "dedicated" that song to me, and I loved that song because of that. I mean, I would have still loved it because it is so beautiful to listen to, and the lyrics are composed in such an eloquent manner--which I LOVE- but the fact that it was dedicated to me made it that much more meaningful. That relationship ended in high school and several years passed by, and I have had other boyfriends since then, but when I heard the song, it just triggered something in my mind/heart/soul/essence. I don't see him in a romantic way anymore, so it wasn't a type of "I wish we were still together", it was more like the song fueled this little locomotive of a heart and took it down memory stream. It was rather pleasant to be honest. I love how we have emotions that can get triggered so easily. Whether it be food, songs, scents, books, colors, animals, places, places, places, basically anything. I love when the heart time travels. It reminds me that I was happy, and am currently happy, so there is no need to worry about tomorrow because chances are i'll be happy...eventually.
