Found an old jacket
In the back of my closet
Still had a ticket
Inside the pocket
From a place
I used to go
With people
I don't see anymore
Tried it on
For a minute or two
It still fit
But it didn't
Feel like me
Nothing was wrong
With who I was
I just don't live
There anymore
I'm not who I was
And that's okay
I changed my mind
I changed my way
Some things I wanted
Don't matter now
Some doors I chased
I'd walk right past
I don't regret
The road behind me
It got me here
It did its job
I'm not who I was
And I think
I like who I'm becoming
Called my old friend
On a Sunday afternoon
We laughed about
The things we used to do
She said
"You sound different now"
I looked outside
And smiled somehow
Maybe she was right
I stopped explaining
Every choice
Stopped making myself
Easy to understand
I spent so long
Trying to stay familiar
To people
Who knew the older me
I'm not who I was
And that's okay
I changed my plans
Along the way
I don't want
What I wanted then
I don't need
To pretend I do
There are parts of me
I left behind
And parts I carried
All this way
I'm not who I was
But she's still
Part of who I am
So here's to the girl
Who stayed too long
Who said yes
When she wanted to go
Who kept the peace
Who followed the plan
Who did the best
With what she had
I don't blame her
I don't miss her
But I understand her now
I'm not who I was
And that's okay
I don't have to
Go back someday
The old address
The old routines
The old idea
Of who I'd be
They can stay
Where I left them
I have somewhere else
To go
I'm not who I was
I'm not finished either
There's still more
I want to know
About this life
About this world
About me
I kept the jacket
Just not
The old version of me
