One Year

I used to think my life was set in stone,
but now I can see the drastic daily changes.
I used to be afraid of storms and darkness,
but now I revel in their beauty.
I used to be isolated and alone within myself,
but now I realize the value of a friend.
I used to think happiness was unattainable,
but now I see that it's really just waiting for me.
I used to say I would never fall in love,
but now I know the power of a first kiss.
