Past Time Valentine

In the many years you've known me
Have I changed and how and why
Have I plumbed the limitations
Of my capacity for love and fear
Or merely deepened my delusions
About what love can be
Did I love you for myself alone
Just so you would love me back
And when you did and didn't
Did I grow an inch or two
In letting myself go
Out beyond what love could be
To a taste for joy I've come to know
That has forever altered me
