Change

​It’s been the only constant in my life
Even when you promised to never let go
Or when he promised me the world and then some
Or when she said “forever” until we were old and grey
The only thing that has stuck is the one thing whose very definition is the antithesis of “sameness”
Ironic
The one thing you didn’t promise is the only thing you’ve committed to
It’s the only thing they’ve stuck to
It’s the only thing that has never truly left me
Yet I’m never comfortable with it
When I get too comfortable, it hits again
I’d compare it to the effects of abuse
Many call it the essence of life
The one thing we can all count on
Change
