we all are hypocrites
in one sense
what was a truth yesterday
turns out to be a falsehood tomorrow
I mean simply
we feel a different kind of love
in the coming months
and years
about the ones we love
friend or lover
children even
as the months and years
roll on by
we learn more about those we love
therefore we can’t love them the same
we can love them more
we can love them less
never the same
still, we claim we do
as though love
is unchanging throughout the years
instead of
like an acorn
which has fallen from the oak
grows a tree, yes, but a tree in its own way

I totally understand this, have gone throught this too with some sadness at times but for me, thankfully
There is but one, for whom Love doesn't waiver, if you are a Believer
if you know what I mean

Good morning Emma, and thank you so much for being here today. I believe in the belief that we are all different within ourselves, therefore we find our strong beliefs and love are built upon those differences.
