Sitting With My Guitar and Notebook Writing A Song

[melaniecatlan]

I walked down on the sand with my light green acoustic guitar and my notebook. I was going to write a song today, I don't know why though, I just felt it was time for a new song. I stuck the pencil in my mouth as I tried to think of some words, or even a meaning that I want the song to have. I looked at the sky and then it hit me. Whee, I know what my song is gonna be! I grabbed the notebook and started to write. Everything came so easily, I don't remember when writing a song was ever this easy. Once the words were done, I started to add the music. I strummed the guitar and finally got the song finished. I wrote everything down and then added the title. "My Heart", that's what it's called. I sat the notebook in front of me and began to play and sing the song.

am finding out that maybe I was wrong
That I've fallen down and I can't do this alone

Stay with me, this is what I need, please?

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

I am nothing now and it's been so long
Since I've heard A sound, the sound of my only hope

This time I will be listening.

Sing us a song and we'll sing it back to you
We could sing our own but what would it be without you?

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
This heart, it beats, beats for only you

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart is yours
(My heart, it beats for you)

This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart, my heart is yours
(It beats, beats for only you. My heart is your's)
This heart, it beats, beats for only you
My heart, my heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is yours
My heart is yours
(Please don't go now, Please don't fade away)
My heart is yours
My heart is...
yours
my heart is yours...

I continued to play and sing when I heart footsteps behind me. I turned around to see (whoever posts next) standing behind me. "Hi," I said, blushing.

[Oliver Oken]

I had my eyebrows raised, clearly impressed.

"Nice song. You write it?" I asked with a friendly smile.

[melaniecatlan]

I nodded, "Yeah," I said, still blushing a little bit. "Thanks," I said with a smile.

[Oliver Oken]

"You're really good. Do you write songs often?" I asked, sitting down with another friendly smile.

[melaniecatlan]

I sat the guitar in my lap and nodded, "Yeah," I said, "Well, kinda. I haven't really written anything lately cause we've been trying to get settled here," I said. It then occurred to me that I hadn't introduced myself to this guy, "I'm Melanie by the way," I said with a smile.

[Oliver Oken]

"That's cool. I don't really write songs or sing, though I occasionally rap," I said with a cocky smile but laughed.

"I'm Oliver. They call me Smokin' Oken," I said offering my hand and smiling back.

[melaniecatlan]

I shook his hand, "Nice to meet you, Oliver," I said, "Oh, wait. Nice to meet you Smokin' Oken," I laughed.

[Oliver Oken]

"So you said you were getting settled here? Where do you come from?" I asked.

[melaniecatlan]

"I moved here from North Carolina," I said, "Have you lived here all your life?" I asked. He seemed pretty comfortable here, so I was just assuming that he was from here.

[Oliver Oken]

(I think Oliver's a California-native, but I'm not sure. I'm going to say he is.)

"Yep, born and bred in the 'Bu. North Carolina, eh? My best friend is from the South too. Do you know Miley Stewart? She's from Tennessee."

[melaniecatlan]

I nodded, "Yeah, I met her the other day at school on the field," I said. I smiled remembering playing soccer with Daniel.

[Oliver Oken]

I laughed at the thought.

"What was Miles doing on the pitch? She can't play sports," I said laughing harder. I stopped abruptly and with a look of seriousness I added hastily, "Don't tell her I said that."

[melaniecatlan]

I smiled, "I won't say anything," I said. "And she said she was looking for Lily," I said, "Though I haven't met this Lily yet, so I wasn't a big help."

[Oliver Oken]

I rolled my eyes.

"Lilly is really hyper, really crazy, and really annoying," I said with another laugh. Now looking hesitant again, I added, "Don't tell her I said that either."

[melaniecatlan]

I smiled again, "I won't."
