Let
me love you one day at a time...
and
please love me the very same say. May we never learn
all there is to know about love, but every day together
will teach us a little more about ourselves and the
special kind of happiness we can bring to each other.
One of the best things you've helped me learn is that
love starts with being honest, speaking straight from
how we really feel. I like how we've opened doors and
windows of our lives, and invited each other to come
in, look around, and get acquainted. The more I'm with
you, the more at home I feel.

me love you one day at a time...
Why
talk about "always" and say things we're not
sure we mean when we can talk about today and mean exactly
what we say. Let's think of each sunrise as a fresh
start, a brand new beginning... and try to fill each
day with as much love as it can hold. I know you're
not always going to be exactly the same person Sunday
through Saturday, January through December, and neither
am I. We both need laughing times and crying times...
and time for every mood in between. The important thing
is that you can be the kind of you that feels most natural
and that I can be my most favorite kind of me. That's
what makes us so comfortable together...
It's also what keeps us from taking too much for granted.
Let
me love you one day at a time...
Let's
not wonder how long love will last but how beautiful
we can make it grow. Let's give our best to each other,
but let's never expect miracles of our love. There's
no need to...
The reality of you and me is better than all the impossible
dreams and fantasies I've ever imagined. Being with
you is feeling proud, blessed, grateful for each hour
we share.
Let
me love you one day at a time...
not
according to any How-To book, or by someone else's set
of rules... but simply for who you are and how you are
with me. And please love me, not for what I might be
molded into, but for what I am here and now. Don't expect
me to be someone all good and all giving, someone who
could never disappoint you... someone too right to be
real and too perfect to be me. I'm just as human as
anyone I know... and very thankful that you are, too.
Let's try to remember that love means keeping in touch
with each other's thoughts and feelings... listening
not just to words, but to the emotions behind them...
seeing, not just the smiles and frowns but the hurt
and pleasures that cause them.
Let
me love you one day at a time...
starting
today. Let's have the courage to try to change whatever
needs changing about us, and wisdom to know what should
never be changed. Believing in ourselves and in our
ability to handle whatever tomorrow brings... and trusting
that this love we share will continue to grow stronger
as the future years unfold...
One Beautiful Day at a Time. |
