I will try



I will not be reciting Shakespeare every morning when you open your eyes next to me.
I will not always treat you as an English rose should be treated
(I am not a gardener)
I will not always be there to wipe the tears from off your face when you cry.
I will sometimes seem foreign to you and you to me
I will not always remember everything we discussed
I will not always know what to say or how to phrase it
I will never adore your cat
I will not always agree with your mindset or your thinking
I will not always get what you are saying
I will promise you neither the moon nor the stars
I will not always be on time
I will not always be near you
I will sometimes screw-up

But I will write you something when you least expect it
But I will respect your thorns and cherish them
But I will hold you as tightly as I can whenever I am near throughout the night
But I will embrace the difference and bridge our chasm with love
But I will excuse myself as soon as I remember.
But I will surely say something even if my words don’t translate
But I will always be good to him
But I will make an effort to understand your point of view
But I will ask you to make sure I got it right
But I will carry you barefooted through the desert if need be
But I will be there as soon as I can
But I will be there for you
But I will try my best
