If you can be my day, I promise to always be your night

By H.C Porter

There is so much in the past-but still so much still in the future.

When we get to where we are going

When we get to where we are going
I will always remember where we have been
I will always remember where we have been
Each and every road we traveled has been an adventure that still hasn't come to an end.
Each and every road we traveled has been an adventure that still hasn't come to an end.
One which brings so many beginnings,
One which brings so many beginnings,
Some of which we haven't always been prepared for.
Some of which we haven't always been prepared for.
But when we get to where we are going, I will always remember where we have been.
But when we get to where we are going, I will always remember where we have been.

There is no one else I would rather fight with...


When we fell in love,

It seems like so long ago.

We were both so young and we still had so much we did not know.

Though the years have sometimes been long, and haven’t always been kind.

I still feel as if this is a love that comes around once in a life time.

There is so much to do and learn about each other.

Something I am not sure I could find in another.

You are stubborn and you have the ability to make my blood boil.

Sometimes it feels like we are just like water and oil.

But then you make me laugh, when all I wish to do is cry,

And at that moment your love is my one and only lullaby.

You settle all my worries and all my silly doubts.

And you’ll tell me something that makes me crazy-like I’m so cute when I pout.

There are no words to describe, what you mean to me.

Without you holding my hand, where would I be?

We may not always agree on what is wrong or right.

But there is no one else I would rather pick a crazy, stupid, fight.

You say you don’t understand, and you love me so much.

But I say you don’t have to understand as long as you can just trust.

There is no denying, in any single way,

That we are very different as different as night verses the day.

If you can stand down and let me figure myself out.

I will do my very best, to never let you down.

I can’t promise not to get mad or have a valid point in what we choose to call a fight.

But if you can be my day, I promise I will always be your night.

Don’t worry about the past; there is no changing what has been done.

Because when life is over, if we are together- we have both won.

The odds are against us, our stress is very real.

But when you look at me, I know you know what I feel.

So with that being said, and my eyes filling up with tears,

I look forward to letting you love me through many unpredictable years.

What a beautiful testament to the awesome power of love--love that makes differences secondary, even as you live through them.

"If you can be my day, I will always be your night." A touching, lyrical expression.

Thanks for this, it is quite special.

H.C. - A beautiful poem that captures the very essence of both sides in a relationship. I feel the pain beneath the words and yet there is a resounding love that just emanates throughout.

I love this line, "But when you look at me, I know you know what I feel."

Very nicely done,

Sage

Thanks Mike for your words- your opinion means a lot. I am glad that you thought this one has such a powerful effect. The way that I feel about being in love is- love is not perfect, it has flaws, but that is what makes being in love and the people that we love more unique and special.

Sage,

Thanks for leaving such a kind comment. I was looking over some of my work I have posted on Hub Pages and realized, a large part of it is somewhat sad- I wanted to share apart of my life that is valued-happy and wonderful, which is being loved.

I am very lucky to have someone that has stood beside me, even though he is sometimes very confused by me. The whole term, "Opposites Attract" is a good way to describe us.

Which is probably a good thing, being-if I did not have him to anchor me-I fear I may have floated away a long time ago. :)

Aware- Thanks again for commenting. I too am drawn to a hub by its title. If it doesnt appeal to me, I am reluctant to even click on it to give it a chance to steal my attention.
