Love should alter when it finds a change
And bend, if it has grown into a bend.
Love should not hold itself aloof and strange
To alteration in the lovéd friend,
Nor be too eager to erase and end
What has been grown over so long a span
Simply because the lover chose to mend.
Love is connection, and therefore it can,
And should, be hesitant to stop or ban
Simply because of change. Love is not fixed:
It lives, and lives according to no plan,
And change and constancy may intermixed
Live on in love. Love is attentiveness
And simple change need not make it the less.
