I can't promise you cloudless skies continual bliss or thornless rose gardens......

I can't promise you painless days tearless nights or even endless passion for I've already promised you truth.....

I can't promise you the stuff movies and romance novels are made of ....

momentary wishes dreams come true...

or the thrill of a lifetime...

for I've already promised you reality...

I can't promise you world fortunes conquered empires or trips to the moon....

for I've already promised you all that I have...

I can't promise you answers for every question freedom from fear or a brand-new day...

because promises of everything usually add up to nothing...

and I've already promised not to make promises I can't keep therefore...

all I can promise you is me...

Happy Valentine's Day
