Podcast: 

After many long and grueling hours of trying to figure out what the heck was stopping me from posting this song, I finally figured out that it was the apostrophe.
Go figure.
So now, finally, you will be able to hear this. (I swear, the worst part of not being able to hear it was the irony of the title...)

The Lyrics:

This air still smells of you
and there's a ghost of your hand
on my skin.
I wish you had stayed,
but you run away,
as fast as the time does.

Chorus
Please don't run away,
I guess there's nothing
that I can say.
Know I won't forget you,
and maybe you'll hear this someday.

You left me with only
too many memories
and that's not enough.
I wish you had stayed,
but you run away,
as fast as the time does.

Chorus

Try as I might,
you're still inside
everything that I find.
I wish you had stayed,
but you run away,
as fast as the time does,
as fast as the time does,
faster than the time does...

Chorus

Wow. This is amazing! I've

Wow. This is amazing! I've always wondered: How long have you been playing guitar?

Four or five years... I've

Four or five years... I've lost track.

I think you mentioned a little while ago that you were in a band-of-sorts, and thinking of posting some of your songs. You should!

wow.... That's so cool.
I've been playing the acoustic guitar for a year now.

Well, I was thinking about it, but I decided not to be in a band. Plus, my best friend who was an awesome drummer, moved.

Thanks! I think I will post some. Although I can't actually sing, so I won't do a podcast.
