My Song for You

I needed you all these years,
Through the joys and the tears,
And when i could hear your voice no more,
Only a jumble of words occupied the empty spaces in my head.
So i decided to write them down - hoping to make a song
Lyrics and chords, i added them all... A song for you was made..
It sounded sweet, the words felt right, so i sang it out aloud
But the song fell flat and the magic was lost - how did it go so wrong?
It was a song for you and i knew you so well... what did i miss?
My song for you.... So wrong, why not right?
I tore it up into tiny bits and felt my tears -
Will my songs never sound right again?
One day the words came back, stranger or an old friend,
and silently i listened,numb
It trickled like drops of water on me till i was completely drenched
It had to be written, it had to take shape
Lyrics and chords, i added them all... A song was made..
It was perfect, i sang it out loud, beautiful - it brought laughter to my heart!
So strange, it was still the same song, what went right?
Then i realised to my joy, this time - The song was for Me, the words were for Me.
Finally, My Song and the music was just right
Everything in harmony..
