Something Special

I was just watching this movie when suddenly I heard the song I know very well started playing in the background as the actress crying herself out against the wall. I was a bit surprised and kinda upset to be honest because now everyone will know the song as well.

The first time I heard that song was through a movie too. Different movie. It was way back on the first year of college I guess. The melody just took me away. I googled it immediately after the movie ended, then never stop loving it until today. I keep that song to myself. Because the song is so good I don't like sharing it with people.

Then came the time when I stumbled upon a song from now my favorite band. And this too, I don't share it with people. Those who know about it only two of my best friends. That is how much I'd like to keep it as a secret.

Because it's nice when you like something that not many people know about it. It makes it special.

But then I realized, something good like that can't be kept as a secret for a long time, no matter how hard you shut your mouth. Eventually, it will still slip away and pour onto the street.

I thought the fewer people know about it, the more special it becomes. I was wrong. The reason it makes something so special is that no matter how many people know about it, it still gives you the same feeling as when the first time you realize that it is indeed something special.
