this could be the beginning
of something beautiful
but i musn't plan the future

i will extract no promises
from you and i in turn
can promise you nothing

i can be free enough to
be myself with you but i
can only hope you feel the same

and most of all i expect
nothing of you for it is then and
only then i can enjoy
what it is you have to offer


There must be a poem in here somewhere.

Brilliantly composed, and should be taught in every classroom in America. This "plan" works for many different reasons, but basically it is the non-judgmental attitude I like and respect.

This poem really drew me in with what you didn't say as much as it did with what you did say.  The first time I read it, I didn't know how to respond.  It felt deeper than simply you be you and I'll be me etc.
Good write!
Lori
