One Day at a Time
I want to love you one day at a time. I want to take things slow instead of trying too hard or promising you too much. I don’t want to try to have a perfect relationship because I know that there can’t be one.
There will be times that I will get cold or insensitive. If this happens, please remember that it may just be because of the weather or one of my mood swings. But it will never be because I love you less.
Please remember that I will always be thinking of you. I may be busy at work, I may not be able to call you often; but that doesn’t mean that I don’t have time for you. Please don’t expect too much from me. I may not offer you gifts all the time; but each gift that I give comes with all the love I have for you. And I will do my best, in my little ways to show you how much I care.
I want you to love me one day at a time. I hope that you do not think too much of the things that might come between us. Just think of your love for me, and I will do the same. I am now…
There will be times that you might forget our anniversary, my birthday or any special day that we might set. I will understand that. I sometimes tend to forget as well. But please forgive me because I will still get hurt within. And even if you forget those days, I believe that we have our ‘everydayness’ that is far more special.
Please remember to call me sometimes, just to let me feel that you are thinking of me. I know that you have things to do on your own and that you do it well; but I’d feel good to hear that you need my help as well. Oh and at times, I can be very stubborn. I know I am. Please try to understand me.
I want us to be together one day at a time. Let’s string those days together and create a lasting relationship. I know it may not be forever because such thing does not exist.
There will be times that we will misunderstand each other. If this happens, let’s try to have an open mind. If you want to tell me something, tell it to me straight instead of letting me wonder what you feel. I will do the same. And I ask you not to fight with me in front of other people. Let’s do it when we’re alone. And then we make up and love each other again. Just us.
Please remember that at times, I may not be easy on you. I expect you not be easy on me as well. But on the other hand, let’s not be too hard. I know we both have room to grow. And if we ever want to get hold of our love, please don’t give me too much of yourself; or take too much of me. Even though we want to be together, we also need our own private spaces.
I want us to love each other one day at a time. Please don’t promise me forever. All I ask is for you to love me now. I also can’t promise you forever. But I can promise you today; hoping that there will be a good tomorrow for the two of us…
