Just because you're aro or aroace doesn't mean you don't understand heartache and loss. When we empathize with fictional characters, is it because we've been through exactly what they've been through? Doubtful, because then fantasy wouldn't exist. But we've had similar emotions, so it resonates.

I don't really see why songs would be any different.
