The Change
Funny how it feels like
The change happened so fast
Almost like closing one door and
Opening another
But I know it’s taken years
To be able to fell
This way
So peaceful
So whole
So new
What a strange and
Wonderful feeling
You’re in my heart now
In that space that had been
So empty after you’d gone
I think I was trying to hold
Onto you so tight
That I couldn’t really feel
You there before
But now I’ve let you go
And I can feel you close to me
Closer than ever
I’ve found you again
And I’ve found something I thought had died
When you did –
Myself, I found myself
But not the me I was before you
Or even with you
No, I’ve found someone
Not afraid to feel anymore
Not afraid to cry anymore
Born again it seems -
From tears and pain
Nightmares and death –
To embrace
Life
And everything
In it
