Can You Take Me Back to the Person I Used to Be?

"So, uh that didn't work." I said awkwardly as we stepped off stage.

"Sorry, dude." Garrett said as he gave me a pat on the back.

"It's okay. It was stupid to think that that could win her back anyway." I shrugged.

"You never know, man. And at least this will let her know that you still care and you're trying." Kennedy brought up.

"Yeah, I just wish that I knew what to do. I should have never walked out on her in the first place." I groaned before burying my head in my hands. "She left, didn't she? When I sang her song?"

The guys just nodded.

"In that letter she told me she didn't love me anymore." I stated. "Why can't I ever just keep my fucking mouth shut?"

"Because you're Johno." Jared answered.

I glared at him.

"Sorry, but it's true. Dude, you have a weird temper. You freak about dumb things sometimes." He told me.

"Yeah...I guess." I sighed.

We walked back to the green room and I took a seat on the couch.

I leaned my head back and stared at the white tiled ceiling. Sweat was dripping of my partially clothed body, but I didn't want to shower. I wanted to feel as dirty physically as I felt emotionally.

I finally sat up and grabbed the acoustic guitar to my left that was propped up against the sofa. I started strumming cords and writing down my feelings.

About Caty, of course. I wrote about how I could barely breathe when I was around her, about how I can't sleep unless she's next to me, how I can't be away from her without going crazy.

I wrote about the way she makes me weak and how I want to scream her name to the world. I wrote about how my heart will always be hers, about how being with her forever wouldn't even be enough time for me.

I wrote about how she made me complete.

You make it hard to breath
With every step you take closer to me
I am cold with every touch
And I can't fall asleep
I can't stand to be without you
Now that you've figured out just who I am
I can't stand to look into your eyes
Now that I realize

You make me weak
You make me love
You make me want to scream your name at the top of my lungs
You make me shake
You rescue me
But most of all you make me
Complete

I am drawing pictures in your hand
And being away from you is something I can't stand
I feel your breath upon my cheek
And you're my everything and my heart is yours to keep
I don't have the strength to stay away
Because I am falling more in love with you
Each and everyday
I can't stand to not be by your side
Now that I realize

You make me weak
You make me love
You make me wanna scream your name at the top of my lungs
You make me shake
You rescue me
But most of all you make me
Complete

You make me weak
You make me love
You know I'll stay with you forever
But that's not enough

'Cause you make me weak
You make me love
You make me wanna scream your name at the top of my lungs
You make me shake
You rescue me
But most of all you make me
Complete

You make me complete

Just as I finished the last line I heard my phone ring.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw her name illuminated on the brightly lit screen.

"Caty?"

"J-John, I need you." She sobbed.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I panicked as my heart went into overdrive.

"It's Shaggy."
