I Won't Ask You For Tomorrow

The moment that our eyes met I could tell that you were different,
Not like all the others that I am drawn to.
I saw softness in your eyes and a kindness in your smile,
Which made it easier for me to approach you.

I remember you being so easy to talk to
Our conversation lasted all night.
After a few drinks it was closing time
So we made plans for dinner the next night.

I was sure you wouldn't call me
So I didn't expect to hear from you.
But to my surprise you called to confirm
Seemed that our plans would follow through.

At dinner I was so comfortable
Felt like I had known you for weeks.
You were kind and treated me like a lady
Afterwards we took a stroll on the beach.

I was nervous about whether or not we should kiss
But once it happened I didn't want it to cease.
And when it came time for me to go home
I wished we didn't have to leave.

I know you are very busy
You have dreams and goals to pursue.
It's not easy to get involved with someone
And still struggle to do what you must do.

So I won't ask you for the promise of tomorrow
Because today alone is a gift
I treasure the times we spend with each other
And enjoy the warmth in every kiss.


I won't expect too much from you.
Won't ask you to stay or force you to go.
You can do as you please and so will I
We'll just casually go with the flow.

I'll listen patiently to all your dreams and fears
And if you'd like, I'll share with you mine.
Regardless of what happens there's a reason why we met
We'll figure that out within time.

But meanwhile don't be afraid to open up
If things don't work out I won't be upset
I'm patient and understanding
I'm just glad that we met.
