29AM (revive)

headphones

i forgot to charge my headphones last night

and didn't think to bring them with me when they sat essentially dead on my bedside counter

I felt their absence when I sat on the metro,

forgetting it for a while as I read my book on the kindle that would flash a low battery warning every time I opened a page

I didn't think twice about listening to music as I played games on my phone sat on the ferry ride.

on the way home, my kindle was dead.

my phone battery was dangerously low.

i couldn't read, I couldn't play silly games to waste away time

I put the speaker to my ear and played my music as softly as I could,

resting my head against the window

it was then that I missed my music, 

it was then that It seemed everyone had their own headphones to listen to.

and I was by myself.
