Tuesday's Tune: Dancing By Myself

 This song popped up on a YouTube page I was looking at. It's a song that was originally released by Robyn and had a fast beat. Yet, I prefer this version of the song by Calum Scott.

Now, I hadn't listened to this song or its lyrics before. So, when it showed up, I thought, "Why not?" Well, this song brought back some memories. Memories that I hadn't expected. Memories of a lovely man.

Once upon a time, a long time ago, I was in love with a lovely man. But I broke his heart and I had to let him go. Imagine my surprise, one night, when a friend sent me texts telling me that I had to get to a party that she was at. She said that he was at that same exact party and I needed to come.

Of course, I wanted to run out and go to that party. I wanted to see him and be in the same vicinity as him. Yet, I held back and stayed home. (I think he may have met his future wife at that party that night.) No matter how much I missed him, I knew he wasn't coming back. I knew I'd be dancing on my own. If I had gone, it would've been another opportunity to only say good-bye again. We weren't going to leave the party together. You see, I had already told him that I'd let him go and I wanted him to be happy. He'd already made up his mind to move from me, so he didn't need another reminder that I'd broken his heart.

Am I regretful for not attending that party? No. In hindsight, we both ended up with the person we each needed to end up with. It's just funny how this song brought up memories that I hadn't thought of in a long time.

Does this song remind you of anything or anyone in particular? What do you think of this song?
