Don't Change For Me by ~jimithy:iconjimithy:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Romantic > Mature Romance > Open


Please, I can't stand the thought
Of loving you more.
Our pain and our joy
Blend to form a perfect life
In its imperfections.

Please, Don't make it better
How can we grow to love
Stronger and purer every day
Surely we would be crushed
Under the weight of our joy.

Please, keep your bad habits
Annoy me so we'll fight
And spend hours making up
Finding new ways of pleasure
To conquer the pain.

Please, isolate myself from you
Let me long for your presence
Til I'll give up my life
To violate your seclusion
And let you chastise me.

Please, I need you as you are
The perfect soul mate
Who matches me closely
But complements my faults
As I compliment your gifts.

Please, come to me with growth
That springs from within
And not from my wants
Let me hunger for the future
As our time grows ever dearer.

Please, make me learn
Not to fit your expectations
But to help fill your desires
Of a long and fruitful life
Filled with joy and love.

Great viewpoint. I agree with what you're saying. Most often, we see in stories, how Megalomaniacs have ideals and want to control the world, or universe, for that matter. In attempting, or even SUCCEEDING to control everything ourselves, we ruin the atmosphere of our lives and for those around us. Without outside influence, many of us would not be what we are today. Some cannot see this. One being, alone, with no other opinions or free wills impacting their lives, would be a soulless instinct machine. By letting many things be, and choosing not to take what we THINK want, (when we THINK we want it) leaves us open to the uncertainty that makes life interesting.

Anyways, sorry to rant, it's a great poem. Having another intellectual around brings out that side of me I guess. :aww:

Thanks... I try to live by not making other people change... but by being willing to accept change in myself and others.

Beautiful. Your choice of words is so subtle, so speaking for itself... Although I do not know the feeling entirely, I can really understand it through this poem. It tells a lot. :+fav:
