Obvious but usually unspoken

There's this thing about life in general:
somehow we can develop and grow.
it's possible to learn and to notice others growing
(or not)
some days we appreciate our past even as we grow past it
but we love whom we love for reasons
the reasons remain if we choose well
if we don't choose well, then, we notice
the emptiness that appears
the people that remain close are those that contain the qualities we value
the effort, the imagination, the pliability that allows change
then we can change together
we can love together
the ones that fall behind are those that are rigid in time & mind
they're inflexible and don't grow
the qualities we value aren't there.
