My life is so much different now
That you’re not here with me.
It seems that nothing is the way
We thought that it would be.
My life has changed and so have I.
No longer do I cry,
Not even when I think of how
You turned and said goodbye.
My life is now alive and free.
I’ve learned to turn away
From memories that haunted me
With thoughts of yesterday.
