"I can't promise you tomorrow I can only give you today Tomorrow is not guarenteed But my devotion is this day I could tell you pretty lies That would only hurt you in the end I can't do that so please be contented with my today devotion And having me as your friend I can't let you walk away Knowing this thing called us is good Call me selfish if you have to I just have to make my today devotion by you understood." I listened to his words As tears streamed from my eyes He only promised me today But who knows what the future holds inside He could give me today Maybe even tomorrow I'll keep on hoping I won't claim any sorrow |

this was beautiful but sad...and struck a chord...as I've heard this...from a man...I was very much in love with...they can never promise you more then today, and actually think they're doing you a favor by telling you and eliminating any guilt...and they know you will be there, when ever they call...and they "are" unique and exceptionally fun people, comical, real romantics and remarkable friends....but simply cannot stand responsibility...or, are still looking for the perfect soul mate...I repeat....perrrrrfect...of course, no one is perfect, and when you become to demanding, they will turn and run like a scared rabbit... and what I learned was priceless...that you cannot make someone love you, or expect them to feel and think like you do, it would never work, we'd smother those kind of people, until a great working love turned into a slow death...and so, point being...we were two different people, didn't want the same things...and although I wanted him, he could not commit to me...and now, I know, if he had, it would have been disasterous. and so, I have many mind photos which come back to remind me of how blessed I was to experience what I did...knowing through him, a love I'd never felt before...and is now on reserve for that special someone...only this time, it will be a better love, more mature and compassionate...smiles Bittersweet memories, this bought back, beautifully done and praying you don't buy this torture like I did...hugs to you dear one... forgive me for the book...see what your words did? hehe |
