Change

worrying about whether or not a relationship will last, or change for the worst

We were friends
But then that changed.
We were lovers
But then that changed too.
We said it wouldn’t
But then it did.

We’re friends again
So now we say,
“I’ll be your friend forever,”
But now I worry
Will that change too?

I know you’ll say no.
But how do you know?
We thought we’d always
Be together, but weren’t.
Can you see the future?
Am I happy? Am I loved?

Some want the future
To remain a mystery,
I don’t, I want to know
Right now what’ll happen.

After this break,
Will you love me again?
Will you hold me again?
Or will you move on,
And hold someone who isn’t me?
Telling her you love her,
As you make love?
Will you remember
All the times we did?

Our first time was great.
So was every other time.
But making love isn’t
What I’ll miss the most,
What I’ll miss
Is when we used
To just lay together in your bed.

But I can’t change
That you need time.
Isn’t it funny how
When you wish something would
Change it won’t, but
The thing you want
To stay the same does.
