It fades away

But in the interim it was hard to see that way

I said I don't like change but I'm not afraid
Stating a dislike for change but asserting a lack of fear.
I can't keep it together ever anyway

I thought it'd change when i got older
Expressing an expectation of change with age but experiencing a sense of repetition.
But the same year came over and over
Highlighting the persistent recurrence of the same experiences over time.
And the only change that I could feel
Noticing a change related to the aging process rather than personal growth.
Was the aging of my bones

And then in one October
Referring to a specific time in October as a turning point.
