So here we go, the first proper blog entry without Mena around, and I'm gonna reveal everything. Mainly because I told her the basic jist of it earlier, so it was something to look forward to. Anywho, here goes: I'm going to write her an album.

When I told her, she said that I already had, as all of my Living Sedative albums are dedicated to her, but this one's different. Every track on there is going to be about her, or some quirk in our relationship. I might even write one about arguments, so that I can have a heavier track in there to break all the mush up :P I'm not really sure right now.

What makes this different to my conventional Living Sedative releases, and the soon-to-be-properly-announced Project Overdose album, is that I'm actually going to release this under my name. The reason I'm doing that is because I don't want it to be seen as a side project, even though it is. I want it to be sentimental to her, and hopefully it'll come across as such, even if it turns out crap. Which it will, we all know I can't sing XD

As far as song titles go, I've got a couple in mind. One I'm definately doing, though, is called I Hope You Listen to This Song Everyday, and this might double up as the album name. Others I have in mind include In My Blood, and Where We Met.

As I leave this topic alone, here's some lyrics, as a taster for what's coming up:

I Hope You Listen to This Song Everyday
I hope you know,
That you're the best thing in my life.
And I hope you know,
That I want you to be my wife.

I'm sure you know,
I love you more than I can ever say.
And so I hope,
You listen to this song everyday.

And I love you,
I love you more than words can say.
And I hope you,
Listen to this song everyday.

In My Blood
You make me laugh,
You make my cry.
You make me wonder,
Why I should try.
To make things better,
To make things good,
And I remember,
It's in my blood.

You make me happy,
You make me sad.
I sit in silence,
When I get mad.
Then things get better,
Just like they should,
And I'm so happy,
You're in my blood.

If they don't work out as songs, the lyrics will be posted in PostPoems, so they're not being put to waste. Unused lyrics are also going in there as well, so I should be able to give you a few goodies at the end of the week. I'm going to have at least one song done, so here's hoping.

Moving on, and as I said at the beginning, Mena has gone now. Right now she's on her plane to Egypt. I still wish I was going. Today's been so hard for me. I've been trying to keep my emotions in check because I didn't want her to get upset. That, and she told me not to start crying else it'd set her off :P God, I sound so depressing recently. I'll cheer up soon, promise. Anyway, I'm currently coping with it better than I thought I would be, but that's probably because I'm keeping myself occupied. It'll hit me when I go to bed, I'm sure, and if it doesn't, it'll hit me tomorrow. But yeah, I still wish I was on that plane right now, watching whatever film they're showing, and being next to my love. Wouldn't get much better than that.

Well, that's all for today. Tomorrow, I'll talk a bit more about..erm..well, progress on the song, I guess. And what I've done, if it's interesting, or what's on my mind. It's been a while since I've tried to do daily blogs, and I'm clearly a little rusty :p Nevermind, eh?

Right, well, good night. I shall speak to you all tomorrow.
