Stand back.
I'm in change.

Evolution, be it said,
might all be just in my head

and surely it feels strange.

Still
I need you to say you understand
even if you don't.
I need you to say you'll love me
even if you won't.

Reinvention.
New ground, but where
do we go from here?
Seems that when I'm sober
my thoughts aren't very clear.

And even though I'm in change,
I still want you somewhere the same,
I'm not afraid to let you know
I can't live without the frame
of time that you have to give.

Such deep truth in these words: And even though I'm in change,
I still want you somewhere the same


That's how it happens most of the time, because it is comforting after all.

As always highly insightful, dear Dixie!

Love and hugs.

fine 'write'!....

and, the following just about 'sums it up for me'
[could be describing my (alleged) 'life' in a nutshell....]

"Reinvention.

Applause!

being sober makes it better, you never know, been there and done that, as long as your not being let down by those close to you.
