Back then

I would roll my eyes and say 

"I can't wait for my new adventure,

My new home,

My new me.

I won't miss them

Or the stories they share of

My embarrassing moments and

Childhood dreams.

About me before I knew who I was."

But how sweet are the memories we share-

How sweet are the times from when we were young

And how much sweeter is your love

After seeing me

And knowing me

For so many years.

You saw me then, 

Before I knew who I was.

You see me now,

Still figuring it out. 

This me has touched you,

And grown up with you,

And loved you. 

Now I'm not so sure that I am ready for 

My new adventure,

My new home,

My new me.

Because you are a part of this me.
