I know you wish

I were a little more
   romantic
Maybe a little less
   tempermental
A little less
   opinionated
A little more
   loving

I know you know

  I love you

Though I'm sure you often
  doubt it

tell me how
to give you my all
tell me how
to trust enough to
BE who you want me to be

Tell me how to
put the past behind
  where it belongs
because I love you
and I want to give you my trust

But our past won't let me
     not yet

Give me your understanding,
let me take my time

   please?

We are what we are and if we change for the person we love then what does that say about ourselves

sweetie you shouldn't change for anyone, we have to tolerate and be tolerated - stay true to YOU and who you are, not what someone wants you to be...then and only then will there be harmony between two people.
wishing you happiness and love always and winged ~hugs~ of course

True Love gives you time to mend..
And, True Love doesn't ask you to "change"...

"tell me how
to trust enough to
BE who you want me to be"

I've said these words..
but in the long run found
I had to BE me.


We can't go changing who we are for someone we love.

Alright, I won't change for anyone! *grin* it was a vent, I was frustrated and feeling guilty about something. After I wrote it I felt better.

Thank you all for the reinforcement though

Sweetie, I was glad to read in your response that
you aren't going to change for anyone. I like you the
way you are. I know where you were coming from, though.
I think I'm also stubborn, tempermental, opinionated,
and sometimes I wonder if he wonders if I love him as
much as he loves me. I so wish that I could trust without
ever wavering. I really don't think I have any reason to
not trust him. It's just so hard to trust completely
after being hurt so badly by someone.
Huggies,
Ethel

Maybe a vent but a good write none the less. Glad you feel better. I vote with the others. Don't try to change for someone else. Neither of you will like who you become.
