In all my life, I have never fallen out of love.
I have misunderstood the feeling,
misidentified my attachments
loved a version of a person no longer here,
held candlelight vigils for the way they died but kept living as someone changed.
Yet I have loved you through all of it
every shift, every struggle, every bit of growth, every backslid inch,
I have fallen in love anew with each version of you, each version of myself
swooning and shifting, adapting to what I might once have grieved with someone else.
Unyielding, forgiving, without resentment, I have loved you and never fallen out of it.
