Change

A Poem by Soren

If I changed over time

And you loved the old me

Now estranged in clime

When did you stop loving what I be?

A lot of truth depicting that men are from mars and women from Venus scenario. Nice work.

This is definitely a woman's question and I don't think it's funny. But evey man has to deal with that at some point. The most extreme instance that I'm aware of happened about 2 years ago. A blind man was wholeheartedly loved by a certain lady who opted to be his sweetheart despite his condition. They were happy together until the man underwent a surgical procedure that restored his sight. Then he opted out of the relationship because in his words "she wasn't as beautiful as he expected". Your piece is thought provoking.

I am new here and also new to writing poetry. Could you please explain the word clime to me? Also I love the last line.

Thank you for your review and inquiry. Clime refers to a region determined by its climate

Thank you for the reply.
Hmmm, someone once said, "women marry men expecting them to change, and they NEVER do. Men marry women, expecting them to never change, and they ALWAYS do." I think there is truth in those words.

So true. Thank you for your review and most interesting comment.
A profoundly moving question that one who has ever loved or been loved must grapple with at some point in life. Because change is inevitable and a part of life. Is love measured by it? Does it define its value? Love is easy to convey when it's new harder to keep when it's old. An excellent piece my friend.

The questions of love. Love can run away from us or can run to us. I enjoyed the poetry. You questions something with so many answers. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

I agree my friend and you are welcome.
The context of this is wonderful and starts out really great. The last line, however, throws it off for me due to the forced rhyme. It should be, "When did you stop loving who I am?" Of course, this doesn't rhyme; but forcing it as "loving what I be" does not grammatically make sense either. I would encourage a rewrite here as the poem is truly worth it.

If it were me, I would change both the second and fourth lines.

"If I changed over time
and you loved who I used to be,
now estranged in clime,
when did you stop loving the old me?"

Just a suggestion of course.

I could easily see you expounding upon this and turning this into something really fantastic!

Real love is accepting that what you fell in love with long ago is still the same today regardless of the changes...to a certain extent. We all change, our looks, our strength, our attitudes and opinions...it is normal that this happen. Some people grow apart and some people accept the changes. I know there are circumstances that make things difficult but anymore it seems if some changes their favorite sock color, the other half wants to leave them. In the end, be yourself, that is all you can do. Ih...fantastic 4 line mind bender my friend.

This was an interesting read. An old and dear childhood friend came by to visit me one day. And we went out driving, going nowhere, like we used to do. He had been working in Alaska for ten years, it had been longer since we had seen each other. We drove and talked and talked and drove until my friend said to me, see, this is why I love you, things change, times change but you never do. Love is dependable in its continuance and understanding. We all must change outwardly. But Shakespeare called love the "ever fixed mark" and I think that's what my friend meant. Our friendship remained regardless of changes around us.
