This piece is based on a college term paper I wrote which was about change - how we are constantly changing every day because of new experiences and new input from life that goes on around us.
You think you know me,
you've loved me for so long.
But you don't know me
as I am today.
When you first loved me,
you watched me
and learned what I did;
you listened to me
and learned what I thought;
and you came to know me.
You forgot, though,
that I kept doing
and I kept thinking,
and today, I'm different
with new parts of me
waiting for you to discover.
I know you love me still,
but you don't know me
as I am today
because you see me
with eyes of yesterday.
