Nothing changes

The Sun comes up each morning and the stars come out each night
The World continues as it did before
I still drink tea too often and a glass of wine’s just right
But I am not the same man any more
I can’t tell you what’s different, can’t say what things are new
I’m just not quite so innocent, since I said “I love you”
The meals I eat are made the same, the blackbird hasn’t changed
He sings his heart out then he begs for food
The letters in the alphabet have not been rearranged
And cats still have a dodgy attitude
But everything is different, though the changes are so so few
Inside my heart, so innocent, I know that I love you
And maybe you have changed as well, yet still remain the same
The world around you lit a brand new way
You walk the dog and feed the cat and love to play the game
The constants of your life must surely stay
And yet I know you’re different, there’s changes to the stew
My love is not so innocent and you said “I love you”
Author notes
“I love you”…is a universal phrase being said by the all living
beings…Unknown

Those of you who, like me, pronounce different as “diff’rent” with two
syllables will have difficulty with this, just for today please pretend it has
three the way it is written.
