And now I’m changing From the little girl you knew

Becoming
I was still talking
Even though I had paused
And had more I wanted to say
I only blinked and missed
What you wanted to say
Now you’re missing it all
I haven’t turned out yet
I’ve still got a way to go
I was still talking
There was more to say
Even though I had paused
And now you won’t get to see
But I hope that you know
I hope you hear now
So that when we meet again
I won’t be a stranger to you
I was still talking
And now I’m changing
From the little girl you knew
I don’t know what I’ll become
But I’ve plenty more to share
And I can’t be who I was
I’m still turning out
Into whatever I’ll come
