Changed for Good

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives for a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led
To those who help us most to grow
If we let them
And we help them in return
Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you:

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes a sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the

better?
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart
And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have re-written mine
By being my friend:

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a skybird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the

better?

But because I knew you:

Because I knew you:

I have been changed for good

I listened to the Wicked soundtrack (the German though) and got stuck with this song. It reminded me of how everyone you meet, changes you a tiny bit.
And it made me think of all the people I met and how they changed me, especially the FFXIII project's people which has only been 1 1/2 weeks a got...
It doesn't need a lot of time for people to affect you and even just a weekend can be enough to change you...

And now that I've been changed for good.
