You're like an old cassette tape

One you grew up with

Listing to on a loop

It was your

Favorite

Every day

Play. Rewind. Repeat.

Play. Rewind. Repeat.

Play. Rewind. Repeat.

You wondered how music

Could ever get better than this

But time passed

Things changed

CD's

MP3's

iPods

Digital Streaming

Music had changed around you.

But then one day

You find

That box

Box of memories

When you see that cassette tape

And you're curious

Wondering if it still sounds the same

So you pop it in

And the music starts playing

Instantly

It's like you're back

Back in time

Back from the future

You see your younger self

Dancing to that tape

Remembering

Some of the hard times

It got you through

How it played

In the background

When you were happy

You are grateful

To that tape

And all the memories

That were brought back with it

And so it's okay

To rewind

And listen to it again
