I have grown so much these last few years
Changed myself into a completely different person
I have been sober for so many months I actually stopped counting..

I have taken different paths
Stayed in different places
Made different friends
Gone on many adventures

Yet your memory still lingers
Like I cannot rid myself of you
When I see your name appear on my page
I need to stop myself from texting you…
Just wanna know how you’ve been…
Do you ever think of me?

Its been so long…
And I am so different..
Bet you are too…
We would not even know each other..
Like strangers in the right place at the wrong time…

It doesn’t really matter
Being this new me
Has shown me real feelings
A love never experienced
And a pain I have never felt

It makes no difference to who I am
I am always the one who ends up with the broken heart
Can only wish you all the happiness I hope for…
