I wrote a song last night.

Or maybe it was the night before, I think it was. Eh, I don't remember.

I've never written anything before, and it turned out surprisingly well. I started fooling with melodies on the guitar, just picking the strings. And then I started singing along. Making up whatever. Here are the words. Maybe i'll get a recording up of it once I can do the whole song with no flaws. I'm proud.

Too Beautiful

You give it all away to me now
Before you leave town
You say goodbye
With words so heartbreaking

I packed the last of your thoughts
Inside your car
Buckled you in
Turned the ignition far

Don’t forget me, and understand
The rain will go away, someday, oh
Don’t look back here, set your eyes ahead
You’re too beautiful for this

We stood and stared
Through one another’s souls
I said, “Don’t leave me here,
You feel like home.”

You said, “I can’t stay here
When I am meant to be more
You’re the fish, I’m the bird
You swim, I soar.”

And you said,

Don’t forget me, and understand
The rain will go away, someday, oh
I said, “I understand”
As you drifted far away
You were too beautiful for this.
