changed

You say you miss the person
I was a few years ago
I begin to say
that I havent changed
but then I realize
that I have
a few years ago
I was full of
an admirable confidence
and I stood up straight
and never slouched
I broke hearts left and right
just by saying that
i was busy on a Saturday night
but then I met her
and she changed my life
but i was still full of that
cocky arrogance and confidence
and i couldnt see
that she was becoming my life
and should have been my wife
I never told her how much
i apperciated her
how beautiful i really thought she was/is
not once was I the first one to say
I love you
and over the years
she felt my distance
no matter how fast she ran towards me
i always changed where the finish line was
so she left
and in only her absense
did i realize
what kind of man i should have been
for her
it's what she deserved
i would do anything to bring her back
but she's gone
and so is our love
so yes i have changed
perhaps into a better man
who will apperciate
what he has
when he has it
take risks
when it's worth
the price
listen to love songs
and apperciate the lyrics
and say I love you
with all of my heart
not just in response
