some things

Martha Spong

when things change

you wonder
what you love
what you like
what you enjoy
what was pretend
what was real
what was deep
what was fun
really
and 
some of those things 
will never be again
things you loved
things you hated
things you miss
things you regret
things you did well
things you didn’t
all gone
but some 
you remember
with a smile
because some things
can’t be ruined
no matter what
