When I met you
I didn't want to fall in love
But with your smile
The warmth in your eyes
And your passion
You pryed your way
Deeply into my heart

You told me you loved me first
I needed to hear it, and feel it
It quenched my thirst

Because you let your feelings show
I then felt safe to let mine go
I gave myself to you
My mind, my body, my soul

Then I made the fatal mistake
I asked you for forever
You said 'I can only love you
one day at a time'

The words cut deeply into my heart
Why did I have to ask for forever?
Why didn't I just get what I could take?

Now that you've hurt me
I'm afraid of you
Like a turtle in peril
I've gone back in my shell

Why did I fall in love at all
Until then, we were doing so well

it happens like this a lot, i think....  

but if you think really deeply about it, i'm sure you'll agree that forever is really just a string of one day at a time......

*sigh*

falling in love is a beautiful thing....

to keep falling forever one day at a time is the greatest journey.........

People are at different phases in their life at different times. It's hard to get everything in synch, and also hard to go back once the differences are pointed out.

Best of luck to you.
