I'm not who I was

I've been thinking about a friend who I haven't seen in a very long time recently, one of those friendships that didn't end in a way that I had wanted. I don't really have any idea how this person is doing, but I'm at a place now that I feel like I really could talk to and hang out with them again and it would be okay. But at the same time, there's the question of whether or not I should do something about it. I've forgiven them in my heart, but would contacting them be a poor decision? I like what Brandon Heath has to say...

I'm Not Who I Was, by Brandon Heath
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side, too
But I'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you
Sometime ago
But I never got to tell you so

I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right beside me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who I was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend
It was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

I reckon it's a funny thing
I figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was

I was thinking maybe I
Should let you know
I am not the same
But I never did forget your name
Hello

Well the thing I find most amazing
About amazing grace
Is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
