can we change someone
or is that just a beautiful lie
we tell ourselves
to make staying easier?
we are made like different skies,
even twins carry different storms.
two minds don't merge
they collide,
they resist.
they say love can change a person.
no...
love is not a sculptor.
it cannot carve new souls
out of stubborn stone.
"i'll change for you", they say,
soft as a promise,
fragile as smoke
there,
then gone.
people don't change
because they are asked to.
they change
when something inside them breaks
or when they lose
what they never thought they would.
and even then,
nothing is certain.
so no,
we cannot change someone.
we can only stand at the edge,
watching
as they either become
someone new,
or remain
a storm
we were never meant to calm

sometimes love feels like trying to hold the ocean still but some storms were never meant to be calmed
maybe the hardest truth is this
we don't lose people,
we just finally see them as they are
