it almost seems
like a crime
how different we can be
from one day to the next
there’s almost this
ludicrous sense of guilt
for having changed
for having led everyone
to believe that
you are one thing
one day
and something else entirely
the next

but i have decided
that is the only way
to grow, so please
take everything i say
with a grain of salt
and don’t hold it against me
if one day i grow
to love you
when i hated you so
just the day before
