BACK
Sitting at my desk, I lost myself in tearful daydreams, trying my best to avoid thinking about what I shouldn�t.  Preparing myself for our recording session with Ryan tomorrow.  For a real record.  Put out by a real record company.

With my songs.

Picking up my guitar, I started randomly playing cords, hoping to lose myself in some new melody to jot down.  Something to help me put all the emotions I was feeling down on paper for someone else to use.

Guess I�m in the mood for already written music tonight.

Familiar cords merged into a familiar melody.

�Never thought my life would change in a day, never thought I could think of leaving my life this way, a world with many shadows, brightened by your smile, an imprint of my soul, the thought of you drives me wild, I want to breathe you in, consume your soul, carry you always, never let go, but I had to let go��

And more tears are streaming from my eyes.

Earlier �Stop Falling� couldn�t get out of my head.  It�s all I could focus on when things became too much.  I can�t fall for him.

Too bad I caught myself too late.

But I had to let go.

Forgoing the videogames, I crawled into bed.

The same bed we were fooling around in earlier.  The same bed that her scent clings to.  Her song playing on repeat.

I wish I could hear her singing it instead.  I bet she has an amazing voice.  She definitely knows how to write good songs.

And I knew it was about me.

I just don�t see how she expects me to listen to her.  After everything, how much she�s changed my perspective on my own life and people in general, how in hell does she expect me to let go of her?

I don�t want to.

The words floating through my head as if a new mantra, I felt my eyes grow heavy, sleep overcoming my overwrought mind.

I�ll run into her again.  There�s no way we can�t.  We�re connected.

I love her.

It�s just� this time I�m a little scared about what happens if we don�t?

But that�s not an option.

Like hell I�ll let go.
