I’ll stop saying “You never…”
Because you’re now aware you don’t.
You’ll do your best to fix it.
Will you fail? You won’t.

Let’s do our very best
The neither restrict nor smother,
Stop focusing on the bad,
And simply love one another.

It’s no terrific task,
The statement’s not surreal;
I know you make my day worthwhile
And I’m sure it’s how I feel.

I don’t mean to change you;
To force your heart to hurry,
But please, relax, enjoy our time,
Don’t be so quick to worry.

Let’s work past everything,
No matter how stormy the weather.
Nothing can compare to that
Which we can do, together.

Okay, I know more subtle ways…
This apology’s quite sappy.
But hey, it might be a pleasant way
To record how much you make me happy.

So, let’s stop scolding, “You never…”
Because we now know we don’t.
But I live for your happiness…
Will we ignore your wants? We won’t.

Do I suck at this? Of course.
At times, you do, too.
But let’s focus on the positive
Since there’s LOTS of good we both do.

So here’s the message that I have
And no, it’s nothing new:
I can think of nothing more joyful
Than spending all my days with you.
