Now that its ended... nothing but memories of that one sweetest song ive ever wrote remains. i burned the lyrics and tore the scores. im parting from it for good. though the melody will never be erased from my mind. ill make sure it'll be at but a small corner. all the time and inspiration spent, though gone, but not wasted. the song itself, even before it was finished, it had driven me to write it. and now with a smile, hiding slight disappointment and blandness, i tuck the ashes of the old song and everything with it, and store it in an urn, awaiting the day, when i shall look on it, and rewrite it again, based on the memory of it that would never leave my mind...
Half a song was written during the period of the old song. hoping to overwrite everything about it. i burned the lyrics for it. poured my words into it. only to find that my half written song had already found another composer/lyricist to end what had started of it...
Despaired... i set out in search of a new song. one that i would hum to every night before i sleep. one which would not make me cry listening to it. alas! my song had found me instead. contented, i hold on to this song and try to write a tune of joy with it. though that bond between me and my new song is not strong yet, i silently hope, that it will be one that ill be adding to my wall of music.
