Me too. Then I wonder if I've changed or it has... which really
doesn't matter because the dynamic isn't the same. Case in point: I
moved from Michigan to California when I was a teenager and madly in
love with a boy. I returned two years later to visit my grandparents
and he dropped by. He was everything I remembered. So cute, so
romantic (making up short poems on the spur of the moment) - but
nothing resonated. He hadn't changed. Poor thing was in a catch 22.
If he *had* changed I would have faulted him for that. He just
couldn't win.
