| 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.
Let 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.
