Don't Promise Me Forever Please don't promise me forever, I want us to love each other one day at a time, and string all those days together like the precious things they are, instead of trying too hard and promising too much. please don't expect me yo always be good and kind and loving. There are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand. But it will only be because of the weather or the flu, or one of my moods...not because I love you less...please remember that! Please don't think about all the things that could happen to us. Don't think about other people coming between us. Don't think about outgrowing each other...or growing out of love. Please do think about all the good things that could happen to us. Think of growing closer to each other, finding new reasons for being together...and think of loving. Please don't be too easy on me, or expect me to be too easy on you. Both of us must have room to grow if we want to hold each others love. Please don't ever give me too much of yourself...or take too much of me...in our togetherness we still need our private places. Please listen to me when I'm talking to you...and please don't ever think about someone else when I kiss you. Please don't start an argument or make me look foolish in front of other people. But when we are alone, don't feel like you are walking on eggs. Go ahead and say what you think. If I need telling off... tell me off. Then we can have our fights...and make up...and love again...just us! Please remember to call me sometime for no reason except that you feel me thnking about you ...needing your voice. Please let's not use politness and business and silence to avoid our problems and the places where we hurt. If something is wrong, let's go after it and make it right. It's a good feeling to think of growing older with you...but please ...let's not ever grow old. I want us to hang on to the newness we have right now. Let's never be ashamed of our innocence...of the child within us...let's never give up our dreams! Please don't ever try to keep it away from me whrn you're feeling down. I'll neve be able to share your joy if you pritect me from your sadness. Please Don't Promise Me Forever...all I ask is that you love me now. And please know that I love you more today than I ever have before. I can't promise you froever...but I can promise you today ...with the hope and belief that there is a beautiful tomorrow in store for us.
