I already have a Pokemon Black saved game, but I started another one without thinking if I would leave and delete my past save.
Can I still save the one I started recently or what?

Pokemon has only ever allowed one save file to exist for one game at one time. In Pokemon Black & White (5th Gen), if you start a new game while another game save exists, you will be unable to save your new game.
This is to prevent accidental save-overs of your main game, while still allowing a 'guest' (friend/sibling etc) to have a go of your Pokemon game.
If you want to completely start a new game, you must first erase the old save by pushing and holding UpSelectB at the Title screen. You will then be prompted to erase the old Save file.
