Permanence.

I don't remember liking permanence.
When I was little, I had to move from one state to another. 
I don't remember hating it, because the only important person I was leaving behind was a boy. 
When I was 6, I stopped going to kindergarten because I was getting bored of the repetitive lessons. 
I don't remember crying or being sad that I won't get to see my friends anymore. 
I was okay with changes. Nothing and no one had a permanent spot in me. 

When I started elementary, I made friends on the first day of class. 
And I tried sticking with the same group of friends for 6 years. 
I guess I wanted something permanent for once. Well, that didn't last. 
And the moving continued. From one middle school to another. 
From a middle school in my city to a high school in another state. 
On and on the moving continued. I was okay. Changes are fun. 

Changes are fun. Only when it comes to me. 
Changes are not fun when it happens to you. You. 
You who I used to talk to everyday. You who used to ask me if I'm okay. 
When I think of hating changes, I never think of me. 
I think of us. 

I loved changes so much that I forgot that you had to go through it too. 
Changes are not fun anymore. It made me lose you. 
I like us. And for once, I liked permanence.
