write a song based on the experience
it sure helps to clarify your own position.
I recently had a call from an ex after 25 years (funeral was the trigger).
She did set-out her stall neatly, cleared the air a bit, but hanging in the ether was the question "hidden agenda?"
I resolved to write to her - which I haven't quite had the time to deliberate on yet. OK call me indecisive if you prefer.
yes I did write songs and poems on my experiences but that was 15 years ago. & yes they did get it clear in my mind - then!
