Let me Love you One Day at a Time
 
Let me love you one day at a time...
 ... and please love me that very same way.
 
     We  may  never learn all there is to know  about  love,  but every 
 day together will teach us a little more  about  ourselves and the 
special kind of happiness we can bring to each other.
     One  of  the best things you've helped me to learn  is  that love 
 starts  with being honest...speaking straight from  how  we really feel.
     I  like how we've opened the doors and windows of our  lives and 
 invited  each  other  to  come  in,  look  around,  and  get 
acquainted...and the more I'm with you, the more at home I feel.
 
     Let me love you one day at a time.  Why talk about  "always" and 
 say  things we're not sure we mean when we  can  talk  about today and 
mean exactly what we say?
     Let's  think of each sunrise as a fresh start, a  brand  new 
beginning, and try to fill every day with as much love as it  can hold.
     I know you're not always going to be exactly the same person Sunday 
through Saturday, January through December, and neither am I.
     We both need laughing times and crying times...and times for every 
other mood in between.
     The important thing is that you can be the kind of you  that feels 
most natural...and that I can be my favourite kind of me. That's  what 
 makes us so comfortable together...it's  also  what keeps us from 
taking each too much for granted.
 
     Let  me  love you one day at a time.  Let's not  wonder  how long 
love will last but how beautiful we can make it grow.
     Let's  give our best to each other, but let's  never  expect 
miracles of our love.  There's no need to, the reality of you and me 
 is  better than all the impossible dreams and  fatasies  I've ever 
imagined.
     Being with you is feeling proud, blessed, grateful- for each hour 
we share.
 
     Let  me  love you, not according to any how-to  book  or  by 
someone else's set of rules...but simply for who you are and  how you 
are with me.
     To try to change whatever needs changing  about us, and the 
wisdom to know what should never be changed.
     Let's not worry about what went wrong yesterday.  Let's help each 
 other  make  today as right as  it  can  be...believing  in ourselves 
 and  in our ability to handle  whatever  tomorrow  may bring.
     And  trusting that this love we share will continue to  grow 
stronger  as  the future years unfold...one beautiful  day  at  a time.
