you always tell me pretty words to make us seem real..
offer up plans that we'll do that never come thru..
The one days, the maybes , the promises...
you are a spawner of hope..
Giving up lies that have never been asked...
I understand why you do it...
you make this grandiose romance..
Star crossed lovers..
Romeo & Juliet...
but...
I know what we are...
I know how this ends...
I know where we're going ..
no picket fences..
no happy endings..
no forevers...
just day by day...
moment by moment..
kiss by fleeting kiss..
just here & now..
I take you as you are without the pretty lies...
what 's that say about me?

E.J.M.
