A Year Ago Today...

2007-10-04

...he took me in his arms and kissed me for the first time.  Six months after that, he took me in his arms and kissed me for the last time.  A year later, I'm thinking about it.  I'm thinking about moving forward.  I'm learning that I don't need someone else to define me.  I've learned that I can move forward and be who I want to be - which is an extraordinary human being for the simple fact that there is no one else on earth who is exactly like me.  I don't need anyone else to tell me that, though it's wonderful when someone else recognizes and appreciates me.  Today, I'm not going to mope and cry about what I've lost.  I'm going to celebrate what I've gained.  "I'm Not Who I Was" by Brandon Heath: 

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side too
But I'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you
Some time ago
But I never got to tell you so

I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who I was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

I reckon it's a funny thing
I figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was

I was thinking maybe I
I should let you know
I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
Hello

Well the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
