Alterations

I do admit, of course, I am in love
But I would hope, with that, some things have changed;
Our attitudes, for one crucial thing above
All others, which I hope are rearranged
So that we do not speak or act the same
As we were wont when other things were true.
I would not like to play the selfsame game
Now that I'm certain I'm in love with you
And you with me. I like that we still flirt,
And flirt more often, but I'd rather we
Had added something that would well avert
The chance of being like we used to be.
I do not want to be like that again
Albeit I thought I was happy then.
