Who I Wanted To Be

I always thought I knew who I was, But then the day came around when I met you. That is the day when I realized I actually had no clue. You made me stop and pause. You made me think of the life I am living, My future, my present, and my past. My life has gone by so fast. My life is not worth reliving. I’ve done things that I am not proud of doing, Things I wish I could just forget. Things I will always regret. Things that have been in my heart, sitting and stewing. But there are those things I am happy I did, Things I would do over and over again. Things like dancing in the rain. Things that make you feel like a little kid. When I think back on my life, And what I still have in store, There are many things and places I am yet to explore. I plan on being someone’s mother and someone’s wife. So when I met you I may not of known who I was, But I definitely knew who I wanted to be. I wanted to me. With all my perfections and flaws.
