I'm So Over You

So this song needs a little bit of history. I had a crush on this guy the summer before my senior year in high school and he seemed to like me back. I went on a college trip for 3 days down to South Carolina, his birthday happened to be the last day that I was down there. He had a limited amount of minutes to talk so he said that he saved extra minutes for me to talk. When I got back we went on a sort of date down to a festival that was going on in our city. I left again a month later to head on a service trip to Mexico. He told me before we left that he wanted to hear about the trip as soon as I got back. When I got back, he wouldn't return my calls and I ended up finding out that he had found something else to do and didn't really want to talk to me anymore.
The ironic thing here is that he is a musician :P
It took me a long while to get over him, but I eventually managed after a year when I met my current boyfriend who is willing to wait and who talks to me and visits me.

This is called: "I'm So Over You/Someone Else's Arms"

You met me in the park
And told me that I was the one
You wanted to be with forever
You never said as you held me close
That you had someone else on your mind

The only thing I wanted
Was to be happy with you
But I never wanted to see you
Walk away and into the blue
Into someone else's arms
And now I'm so glad that I'm

Over you
Cause what we had is now
Completely gone
And I'm done waiting for you
To make up your mind
I'm so over you

So I left yesterday
And I traveled towards the south
You called me up and said, "I miss you,
And when are you coming back?"
I said three days and happy birthday
And I kept my word

I went again to see the world
And you said that you'd wait
You wanted to hear my stories
But I cane back a week later
An found you didn't want to see me again
And now I found that I was

Over you
Cause what we had is now
Completely gone
And I'm done waiting for you
To make up your mind
I'm so over you

Oh I wish that was true
That I was over you but I know
I was able to move on to better things
I found my love now
And he'll wait he'll keep his word
Because I'm now

Over you
What we had is gone (and I'm glad)
I'm over you and I've moved on
You can leave and I don't care
Though you never left my phone
You have left my heart

I will always be over you
Since I never want to see you again
You wouldn't recognize me anymore
I've changed enough I'm a different person
And I'm so glad you'll never know
Cause I'm over you
I know I'm over you

so this got my frustrations with this boy out, but I'm not completely satisfied with this poem, it's kind of more of a rant than anything else. Well, I'm thinking of a melody for this and it's coming along :)
leave a comment!
thanks amigos,

So I have been in college for about 2 months and I love it here, however, I really miss my home and the people there. Two main people I miss are my little sister, who I am very close to and my boyfriend, who I did get to see this past weekend, but I still miss him. A hug out to all my friends back at home and to my family who I left behind. I love you guys, this is for you...I'm working on a melody for it, but nothing has come yet.

It's called The Place I Call Home/Not Yet Home...( haven't decided yet :P)

It might be the fact that it's all new food
Or that I've never been away from home for so long
And I'm not positive when I'm coming home next,
Maybe it's the fact that I know I should like being away
But I find myself looking forward to getting home

I can't call this place home yet
I try, and I know someday it might be
But I still know that the most important people
In my life are still back in that small town
The place that I still call home

I can't say that I'm not happy here,
Cause I know I am
And there isn't a placed where I can learn
What I want to learn quite like here
But I can't help what goes through my head

I can't call this place home yet
I try, and I know someday it might be
But I still know that the most important people
In my life are still back in that small town
The place that I still call home

Maybe it's the fact that it's so quiet here
I had gotten used to the wild home I lived in
And suddenly it's not the same kind of wild
Not the same distractions that I had gotten so used to
And people don't care about the little things

I can't call this place home yet
I try, and I know someday it might be
But I still know that the most important people
In my life are still back in that small town
That place that I still call home
That place that I still call home

It might be the fact that it's all new food
Or that I've never been away from home for so long
And I'm not positive when I'm coming home next,
Maybe it's the face that I know I should like being away
But I find myself looking forward to getting home
I'm looking forward to going home

If anyone has any ideas for it, I'm open to critiques, as long as you don't say it sux! lol
I'm not totally satisfied with it, but this is as good as it's gonna be for now.
Thanks guys,
Bean

Some History

So, I have been writing songs/poems for a long time now, they seem to help me vent about what I think about my life. They never really seem to go anywhere but I like them anyways.

I'm 18 years old and I am currently in Northfield, MN at St Olaf College studying Spanish and Pyscology. I am originally from Port Washington, WI. Which is where I still consider my home to be and I miss all the people there :)

For now, I'm just going to be posting some of my lyrics or poems, comment if you want, but otherwise, I really hope that someone looks at this. So thanks!
