Stranger

Who really needs capital letters, anyway?

---

when i see you again

will you know me?

are there new lines on my face?

maybe my hair is longer

or maybe i've had it cut

i will explain

every freckle,

every inch i've grown,

every new speck of color in my eyes,

every bruise and every scar,

every moment that changed me,

and every day that took me farther

from who you said goodbye to

i hope that when i see you again

you will not know me

i have changed

and that is good
