How Did He Know If It Was Just A Song

Ancient steps to an ancient archway

Have you ever had a song come into your head that just perfectly expressed how you felt?  You are humming and singing it all day and it really does just hit the mark for what you want to express.  Perhaps it has to do with a person.  Perhaps not.  Perhaps it has to do with a state of mind.

Blllaaaaahhhhh

Say though, that you had an encounter with a person and nothing came of it.  Say you were in that mood singing a song.  Say that person heard you and thought you were singing about them.  What if they responded to that song in fear?  What if they responded to that song in kind?  What if that song had nothing to do with them but they thought it did?

Oh, to be an elephant

I have always been envious of people who are walking around in public singing freely without any embarrassment.  I think that is a gift.  I love to sing, but not just walking around in public because I am too self-conscious.  And yet singing is such a healthy thing.  So therapeutic.  I think though I am often trying to derive meaning out of things.  Or perhaps, it is that sometimes I feel very transparent.

Don't turn your head or they will take your banana!

But the bottom line is, if I am singing a song, how do you know if I am singing it because of you or if it is just a song?
