Outgrowing Love

When have we
Outgrown us
Outgrown love
Never crossed your mind
Just once
Only once
The warmth is still warmth
but not the same
The same set of hands
Still feels strange
Nothing has really changed
Perhaps there lies the problem
You run the same circle
Over and over
The same loop
The familiar scent of familiarity
Of comfort
When have we
Outgrown us
Outgrown love
When it is in fact
The same love
What has shifted
Somewhere outside
Or maybe me
This sense of loss
of something that I still see
I still hold
I still kiss
But I must admit
I have outgrown you
I have outgrown love.
