How's your day? This time I'm back with part 2 of 5. Here, it's all practically about arranging, as the composing was done earlier. Also, I've settled on the name of this song - Missing Piece, since the music represents the ups and downs of a relationship, but in the end he/she is your missing piece in this world.

Arranging
In this section, I introduced more complex chord structure to the existing RH melody by adding the 7th, 9th or 11th.
Basically, if its a C chord, I'll add the 7th note (Bb) to become a C7 chord:

I settled for a somewhat joyous celebratory melody with the same LH notes
Also, I tidied up several sections, just to maintain the uniformity of the pattern, like:
BEFORE
AFTER
Spotted the difference?
