songs playing in my head

It probably is the early morning air at 1am. Or probably the Valentine’s Day draft still lurking. But strangely, as I see wedding photographs of friends on Facebook, it seems as if music is playing in my head.

My mind wanders off to what it must have been like being there, although I have been to countless weddings myself. The music keeps playing. Then I realise, that not talking to some friends for a year, and they have now become parents. The music still keeps playing.

The wheels of time are unforgiving. They just keep spinning, and they leave obvious marks behind as they spin, not least around my girth. But more poignantly in friends and acquaintances “moving on” in life. Weddings and parenthood are those that hit home the hardest.

I admit. Sometimes, amidst the music (still) playing in my head, I do ask “when will be my turn”. But that’s besides the point. Maybe that IS the point. It is late. I better head. I had better press the “STOP” button for the music.
