tiny dose of listen & write

in the midst of Sindro's celebrated series, I hope it's okay to put a tiny, weeny, listen & write exercise here :)

1. Kissing a Fool - George Michael

I've tried and tried, but I can't help replaying the moment when you told me about how you were connected with her. How she came down with flu and you knew. You woke up abruptly in the middle of the night, and you knew.

And I swear, I've tried. I've tried not to feel these little pinches inside. Failed, I'm telling you. And yes, I've tried not to shed more tears. You think I like this? Failed again. But most of all, I've tried not to think about how you knew she was coming down with flu, but you don't know how I'm breaking into tiny smithereens. The small, continuous, cracking sound is echoing, but you can't hear it.

You don't know.
