If I Know Me by vegitoth; Song by George Strait

//We both said some things I know we never meant,
And when I slammed the door tonight you wondered where I went.
If I know you, you're probably wonderin' what to do.
You're thinkin' that I'm gone for good, if I know you.//

I drive my truck around town to clear my own nerves after I had a fight with my wife, Sally. Me and her know pretty well that we never mean to say anything bad to each other, but somehow that little spark inside us always causes problems between me and her, although I'm not sure why. As I walk around an empty park in middle of an empty city, I do some thinking on what she's probaly doing in our house. If I know better she's probaly walking around the house worrying that I'm gone for good. But why would she worry about it, out of all the times we argued I always came back to her feeling sorry for the both of us.

//But if I know me, I'll turn this car around.
I won't get halfway through town, and I'll be sorry.
I'll stop and call, and you'll say you're sorry too,
And I'll come runnin' back to you, if I know me.//

I can never forget the times I lost my temper but it wouldn't be because of her, instead it would be the things I go through during work at Preventors. Sometimes my temper loss can easily forget the fact that if I lost her sweet love, I would lose the world I worked so hard to build when I proposed to her. I now understand myself and I understand how much she means to me, I'm going back to her.

//Sometimes I lose my head, say things to break your heart,
Forgettin' if I lost your love, it would tear my world apart.
If I know you, you didn't mean one single thing you said.
Truth be known, you're dyin?, cryin', lyin? there in bed. //

As I pull out my phone, I call my house and I say "Baby, I regret the things I said to you tonight. I'm coming home."

"I regret the things I said too, darling, and I know a way to work this out between us."

As I come back to my house, I see her standing at the front door with her face stained with tears. As I come near her, I kiss her gently on the lips and I say "I love you so much."

"I love you too. Come in the room with me."

As we begin a night of apologetic passion, I now know who I am. I am a better man.

//But if I know me, I'll turn this car around.
I won't get halfway through town, and I'll be sorry.
I'll stop and call, and you'll say you're sorry too,
And I'll come runnin' back to you, if I know me.
If I know me, and I know me.//

I liked the plot of the story, but I wish it was slower. And I personally can't ever see Wufei calling Sally (or anyone, for that matter) "baby." Likewise, the same for Sally and "darling," unless she's being sarcatic.

Here's a grammar tip, though. When using "I" and "me" with another person, (Him and I vs Him and Me, etc), take out the extra person and see how it reads. I'll use your sentence as an example:

Me and her know pretty well that we never mean to say anything bad to each other, but somehow that little spark inside us always causes problems between me and her, although I'm not sure why.

The first one is all wrong. Take the extra person out:

Me (and her) know pretty well that...

Doesn't make sense, does it? It needs to be "I" in order to make sense:

"I know pretty well that..."

Now, go the other way:

(me and) Her know pretty well that...

Still doesn't make sense, so it needs to be "She." To be grammatically correct, the sentence should, then read:

"She and I know pretty well that..."

Next: You got that one right. Notice how it still agrees with the other words in the sentence when separated to just "me" and just "her." While I would have written "us" in that particular instance, it's my own personal preferance.

Sorry; I'm a major grammar freak. I enjoy editing and all that jazz. I hope this helps you; this is the only way I was able to understand the rules on this particular English topic. You're 16, and so I suppose that you're still in school. It seems to be a common mistake in sophomores and juniors (I noticed whenever we did peer editing in my classes; everyone always had these mistakes as well as tense agreement/disagreement issues... Glad you didn't have any of those! ). Use this little trick in your classes!

Vegioth, I don't have an influx grammar lesson for you, but I thought this was really good, very few writers write Sally and Wufei well, and just as long as your writing has spaces in between paragraphs I'm happy, and look yours does. So it was good.

Well to be honest with you when it comes to stuff like that, I'm usually to lazy to edit stuff if I see mistakes. But from time to time I usually edit my stuff. But all I'm saying is thanks for pointing all of it out but I cant comply with your wishes because all my old stories have been wiped out due to a virus.
