we were deeply in love
my new girlfriend and I
and we sat under the trees 
in the open fields in the starlight
and she whispered to me: 
*"Will things ever change?"*
And I whispered back, as I nibbled at her ears:
*"Nothing will ever change, sweetheart"*

*Then she got pregnant
and everything changed*

I changed my address, my work
my phone number and my email address
my routine and my weekend haunts -
*everything changed*

nothing will ever change (a cautionary tale)
