Because I knew you ...

I’ve heard it said
that people come into our lives
for a reason
bringing something we must learn.
And we are led
to those who help us most to grow
if we let them
and we help them in return.

Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true
But I know I’m who I am today because I knew you.

Like a comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun,
Like a stream that meets a boulder halfway through the wood.
Who can say if I’ve been changed for the better?
But because I knew you, I have been changed for good.
