You Could Tell I'Ve Changed

When you hugged me,
it wasn’t a person you knew.
Even you would change,
after what I’ve been through.

I can’t tell you,
because you won’t understand.
If I could tell you anything,
it’s “life is never planned.”

Without me telling you,
you feel my pain.
Just by a hug,
you could tell I’ve changed.
