I'm BaAaAaAAACK

Here I am! It's been way, way, way too long since I have blogged. Writing music took over my life for the past year and now, I have journals upon journals filled with poetry/lyrics/thoughts- some that have found themselves melodies, others that are better left unsung.

A few of my friends have asked me "Why don't you post your lyrics?". I don't have a good answer. Lyrics are so personal. Poetry=personal. But I've become more comfortable with the idea of being an "open book" *pun intended* as I become more and more comfortable with being a singer/song writer.

And so, I shall bring this blog back to life by beginning to post my lyrics/poetry/thoughts.

Afterall, being BOLD is beYOUtiful.

"Temporary While" Written by Megan Rose April 2011

i'm never gonna see another man

as clearly as i saw you

cause you left with me a blurry way

of seeing love.

no, i'll never love another man

the way i loved you

oh, i couldn't

cause it'd kill me

this i am sure of.

regret is not a feeling that i ever felt while reeling

from the emptiness that weighed me down for so long

though i've known that you are dealing

quite well

and you've been feeling like the whole thing all along was all wrong

but i never hated you for that

no, i never hated you.

quite the opposite, in fact

i love you

and all the tears i cried?

they have subsided into smiles

knowing that i knew love.

i knew love and thats enough

even if it was for a temporary while

and, so, i kissed somebody else

and while he fell in love with me

i fell asleep to dreams

that i was kissing you

and i told him that i loved him

but i lied and he could see

that when i said it

i pretended he was you.

but he wasn't and he'll never be able to live up to everything you lived up to

though i know

he'd never let me down

the way you let me down.

and i don't speak of you to anyone

because nobody wants to hear it

but i speak to you each night and i hope somehow you feel it.

but you'll never love somebody the way you love yourself

and thats ok, because i knew that and i loved you anyway.

and no, you'll never find another me that will love you for yourself

and it's sad because you found me once and you let me go.

but that's ok.

yeah, it's ok

because when you're crying

you know that i'd be the first one to kiss your salty face

and someday, you'll be smiling

when you think of love and think of me

and know that we knew love...

even if it was just for a temporary while
