One Song Away
“I scribble a few thoughts beside the chorus of my work in progress, and then close my songbook. This one is about being on your own, something I didn’t write a great deal about while I lived in Nashville. I tried, but nothing ever felt genuine. I don’t want to write radio-driven songs. I want to write from the heart.
Tossing my book into my purse, I slip on my sandals and go inside. I’m turning off lights around the apartment when I hear the knock at the door. Teenage Jake used to wait for ...me in the car and honk, probably the only thing he ever did that pissed off my dad. Adult Jake comes to the door every time he picks me up, and I can admit that I like it. He has the same old charms and dangerous smiles, but an improvement in manners and several other areas. I like this version. I want to keep him…if I can. More than I’ve realized until recently.
I hope he wants to keep me, too.
