Clean Slate

Well, here goes nothing. While something tells me that I will most likely be the only one who enjoys these posts, I do give permission for others to read, comment, and learn about me through these. I think to start off my blogging experience I will write a song that I've been mulling over in my head for a while. It has no title as of yet, but I think it speaks for itself.

(guy)So now that we've taken a fall
You will take them all
To the places we would go
And do the things we used to do
Did all that mean anything to you?

(girl)Now when I look at you
You don't see me
No you look right on through
I use these words to calm you
But you just block me out
What am I supposed to do,
Did all that mean anything to you?

(both)Lord we shared so much
But now it hurts to touch
On those memories of bein' in the summer breeze
Was that pleasure worth this pain?
Is there any point in singing this refrain?
Did all that mean anything to you?

(both)I'm not asking you to fess up
But if I ask you one more time
And if your answer is yes,
Well I'll forget this whole mess
So, did all that mean anything to you?

Did all that mean everything to you?
Did all that mean everything to you?

There is just something about writing a song in the heat of the moment I guess you could say. Even though my feelings will inevitably change towards what I was writing about, I would never change the words. They stand as a marker, a milestone in my life. At that moment, they were right and anytime they are visited again they are still correct because they still live in that moment.
