"I wanna live in a house like that
Where love wears out our welcome mat
And our hearts know that's where it's at
I wanna live in a house like that
Live with you in a house like that
(Loving you in a house like that)"
He smiled at me as "House Like That" by Donovan Chapman came on the radio in the car. "It's very true. I can't wait to love you in our own house..." I tried to smile and and couldn't really come up with a reply and was thanking my lucky stars when he turned his eyes back to the road. I didn't want him to see the mixture of confusion and thoughts running through my head. "Then why am I having such a hard time picturing you with that song...?"
That song was one I shared with someone else the year before. We weren't dating, but we were both interested in each other and that song was one of the last we shared together before I told him it would never work between us. Despite having never been in an official relationship, there were several songs that reminded me of him and that we had shared together. Even in another relationship I couldn't forget them and shake that connection.
Are there some songs that should be "boxed and put away, never to be used again" as one datingish reader put it?
Or does it show you've completely gotten over someone when you can listen to one of your old songs and not skip over it?

I think that would all depend upon the song and the type of relationship. The severity of the emotional attachment is also a factor. I have a few boxed away songs myself, but they are all for different reasons.
