I was asked about you today,
asked to consider your beauty
your charm.
It was the first time I assessed you
in some time
and I have found you wanting.

I’m sure you’ve changed in no way
and it is purely my sense of you
my thinking
my assessment
that has altered.

I’m quite sure
that you’re exactly as wonderful
as you were before.
It is just that now
I see you
very differently.
