Change

One drastic turn after another.

Life never went in a straight line.

Back then there were more reasons

to die then to live.

But it only took one reason to live

to change me forever.

Black cannot change into white

over night, but gradually it will.



I told you that I hated you, but I really

hated to what happened to you.

To learn how to move on without

forgetting is mind-blowing.

But my mind hasn't blown away yet.



For one thing that will never leave me

is love (sigh!)

You gave it to me when I thought you wouldn't.

I love you.

No matter what happens between us,

I love you for loving me when I finally found

peace.



Thinking different may have taken

its course a little late, but

I'm thinking already.

No fire can't burn me down.

I will not thirst anymore...

To my stepdad... no gift could be greater than giving me the gift of peace.
