ONE DAY AT A TIME
Let me love you one day at a time,
and please love me back the very same way.
May we never learn it all, there is to know about love,
But every day together will teach us a little more about
Ourselves, and that special kind of happiness we can bring to each other and possess.
One of the best things you've helped me learn is that love
Starts, with being honest, speaking straight from what we
Really feel inside.I like how we've opened doors and windows
Of our lives, and invited each other to come in, through the
Hallways of our hearts.Look around and get acquainted with me more and more, the
More I am with you, the more at home I feel.
So let me love you, My Love, one day at a time,
Why all this talk about ALWAYS, and say things we're not
Sure we mean it anyway, when we can talk about today and
Mean exactly what we say.Let's think of each sunrise as a
Fresh new start, a brand-new beginning and try to fill each
Day with as much Love as it can be and for us hold...today.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 lots of laughing times and crying
Times as well too. and time for every mood in between.
So the important thing is that you can be the kind of YOU,
That feels most naturally to be, and that I can be my most
Kind of...ME.That's what makes us so comfortable together,
Don't you see? It's also what keeps us from taking too much
For granted.
Let me love you, My Love, one day at a time, and let's not
Wonder how long love will last, but how beautiful we can
Both make it grow.Let's give our best to each other today,
Now, when we have the chance,but let's never expect miracles
Of our love all the time.There's no need to...The reality of
You and me, is better than all the impossible dreams and
Fantasies that I've imagined,being with you is feeling
Proud,blessed,grateful for having you in my life and for
Each hour we...share.So let me love you, My Love, one day
At a time, and not according to any how-to-book manual, 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 all
The time...Someone who could never disappoint you, someone
Too right to be real and too perfect to be...me.I am just
As human being 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 the words, but to the emotions behind them too.
Seing, not just the smiles and frowns, but the hurt and
Pleasures that has cause them every time.
So, please let me love you, My Love, 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 in our lives.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 wonderful day at a time~
