This reminds me of and counters the naive and popular view that if one is in love it means they should not fall out of love, which is BS. I wrote this poem many months ago:

"Unconditional

love twixt humans forever?

Perhaps, perhaps not.

Love is a state of being.

Beings constantly in flux."

As I explained in the story: "Diana’s prompt for today happens to be an oxymoronic “what are the conditions of unconditional love?” I suspect many have much to say on that topic. I have thought about people’s feelings on the subject and here is food for thought for you — love is a state of being — many feel one cannot fall out of true love — here’s the fallacy in that — many correctly believe that we are constantly changing — so, since love is a state of being, it is inconsistent to insist that one cannot fall out of true love."
