The Change

She tells me I have changed a lot

Gone are the days of the sweet nothings

Gone are the careless whispers

and the stolen kisses

She blames marriage for the change

She tells me that now I behave like a husband

She loved the lover that I was

The courtship days seemed eons past

The garden that was once fertile

is now but a barren land

I tell her she is wrong

I am the same and haven't changed

My love is the same

My heart is the same

It would kill me to think

that I have changed

Deep in my heart though

I somehow know
while the soul has been the same
the shell has changed


I wrung my soul to seek the truth

I walked through the narrow alleys of my mind
Seeking the answer in a confused brain
Find the answer I surely did
Blindsided by it was I should be said
Woven into the lazy fabric I was
Comfortable in the knowledge she was mine
The histronics never made sense to me
Now that we were together

O boy, was I ever so wrong
Giving it a thought now I knew
I forfeited the chance of letting her know
In the only one way that she had grown used to
The depth of my love

I want to tell her now how much I missed all that
how much I missed telling her I loved her
how much I missed stealing those kisses from her
I hope she knows deep in her heart
even if I don't tell her always
I am crazy for her and I would always be
There is no one else for me.
