Number 1 Change

Whoever I was yesterday, passed away with yesterday. So I am who I am standing in a new moment today, walking into tomorrow.  Traveling down a new road, carrying a lighter load.  I  had a fear and a hate for pain, until I realized it was my savior.  Pain didn't come to me, I ran to it. And everywhere I went, I carried it with me. It has been my closest companion.  Yet it was a loveless relationship,  how much I wanted to separate form it I just couldn't let it go.  It blinded me to all the love I had inside, it helped me push aside the one I love most.  It taught me to hurt those who hurt me.  Yet never told me that vengeance,  would bring more pain upon me, and gratification was a temporary illusion.  I am honest and very self convicting,  And to you my number one love, my sincere apology.  You remember that verse, pain is a neccessary investment for progress, it was necessary for me. And how far I have progressed.  3 there is no breaking you and me understand. I am a different man.
