    @emberynus-the-dragonslayer Ooh I really like yours! Lyrical is absolutely right… I was imagining music along with it as I was reading. I may end up writing a few chords into it – If I do, I’ll link the audio file somewhere for you!

    I have a contribution as well. (We’ll see if this even posts – I had issues posting on another topic earlier):

    Knowing How to be Alone

    I got scared, I got unsure
    Stretched it out and caused us pain
    Broke it off and went my way
    Stood outside in pouring rain
    Partly healed and partly broken
    Not knowing how to be alone
    Knowing it’s something I need to learn

    Found comfort in another friend
    Slowly healed a little more
    Realized how much I didn’t know
    Learned the past isn’t easy to ignore
    And still unsure and hurt
    Not knowing how to be alone
    Knowing it’s something I’m learning

    Slowly, surely, hurting less and smiling more
    Thought I was getting there, lesson learned
    But he needed something different – that’s ok
    We parted on good terms, no bridges burned
    It still stings, there’s ups and downs
    But I’m slowly learning that
    Knowing how to be alone
    And wanting to be alone
    Are two completely different things
