I spent a great deal of my life learning things- some unwanted
Some I ignored, some I secretly desired but never did quite acquire
Some nonsensical and some esoteric while I taught others my knowledge
I took on roles as more than myself and honed by my life lessons more or less
Been to places I never expected but some I planned never panned out
Life is peculiar with its cryptic motivation of changing from day to day
I’ve become shaped or molded and or remodeled like one singular day of the week
But for me, love had never changed but I learned participants surely will
Trading off true relationships for more of those transactional ones
The kind that forgets all emotions felt in a blink of an eye or hint of doubt
Becoming newly engaged before a divorce is even granted somehow
I still love everyone I loved since a child albeit the quantifications were altered
Love is that centric attribute about me that remained as unchanged
I’ll bare the same fruited love for all those people… indefinitely
