Thanks for the kinds words, guys. I don't write that much, and never got any feedback on any of my writing, so it's good to get some words of encouragement. My favorite line from this is "If only I knew it would pass so fast, I'd had lived in the moment, not dwelled on the past."

As said, I haven't written much. Occasionally I come up with a couple lines, but not finish a song about it, so there are only a few full songs. Here's one I've been trying to figure the arrangement for as well. The structure is ABACAB, in the A part there is a piano lick I keep playing over and over. B and C are accompanied by a straight piano beat.

Sometimes I feel like I don't know you
Soemtimes I feel I am you
And it makes me scared

You've taught me a lot, both good and bad
You've made me happy, you've made me sad,
You helped me grow, you made me a mand
You've made me who I am

I looked up to you, I followed your lead
You picked me up, and let me down

I'd want to say 'I forgive you', but I'm not sure if I do
Maybe you couldn't help it
I know it's been tough for you too
But I can't help thinking

I try to put it past us, try to start from scratch
But the past is too strong, it will always remain

I'm past the anger and the sadness, I'm through all the phases
I've felt many things throughout this journey, solely because of you
I'm numb inside, all the feelings are dead
All that is left is disappointment
