We outgrow love, like other things
And put it in the Drawer —
Till it an Antique fashion shows —
Like Costumes Grandsires wore.
We outgrow love, like other things

You didn’t finish your sentence buddy. I know this was from over 10 years ago, but maybe you should work on your grammar a little more.
Yes we do outgrow it when our hearts can no longer take the break it has brought.
In this poem, Emily Dickinson compares love to clothes that you eventually,but they hold such sentimental value that you do not want to throw them out.
in fact it is a so perfect poem and am studing dickenson now. i think that emily feels that she needs to renew her past experiences because she miss them.
i can also relate to this because i thought i was in love before but it really didn’t last that long, so maybe we can live without it. Love isn’t everything.
i outgrew love… so i can relate to this. great poem – alex ellis
