For years, when I would look for advice on how to deal with my emotions, keeping a journal or writing would always pop up, but I tended to hate everything I’d written (English was one of my strong subjects in school, so I always “graded” my experiences instead of just letting them be what they were.) And I never really got round to writing anything, let alone a song or a poem.

But I’ve turned over a new leaf, and whenever I wrote in school, although it would be frustrating when I would have only short bursts of inspiration and then couldn’t find what I wanted to say next, I enjoyed it. So I’ve decided that when I’mnot just writing down my experiences as they are, I’ turning theminto R&B songs. This song is called ” Old Thing Back.” I tried to think back to when my last relationship ended, and the guilt and regret that followed me for what seemed like forever. So, here goes :

I wish (I wish)

I wasn’t always trying to be right

I wish (I wish)

I wasn’t always trying to pick a fight

I wish (I wish)

I was a little more considerate

I wish (I wish)

We could go back where we left

Off, there’s so many thing I wish I didn’t say

But I know good and damn well that there’s no way

So I wish you the best and all, but I just wish that you would call,

So I could tell you that I

Remember all those times when you and only you held me down

And when you picked me and my Bull**** up off the ground

So how did I manage

To cause you so much damage

I don’t know but

I know that you were the first one who truly got me

I know that you were the first one to see me truly

Now I know I ain’t perfect

But I can’t give this a rest

So can we get that old thing back?

It’s been 3 damn months

And I just can’t believe

I gave you so many reasons to up and leave

I thought I gave all my love

Thought I fit just like a glove

But I guess I was a size to small

What did I say that made you think I changed?

What did I do that made you walk away?

There must be a reason

That you decided on leavin,

I don’t know, but all I can is I

CHORUS

My heart can’t go on without your presence

Every kiss every smile was truly a blessing

But I know that you deserve better

So I’m gon let you do just that

But before you step, i just got to say

That although it hurts

You should have it your way

So go’ head on,

But I just have to say…

CHORUS

End.
