I came across this photo on the internet and it brought me to thinking about what real, forever love would be like between a couple.  My parents had a love such as this. 




JUST THE WAY YOU ARE by Billy Joel

Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

Paul Macartney did it too with when I'm 64 and it so good to be reminded again in this little endless lovers poem Kathy, it is what I expected and one day will be mine again, that perfect person is just around the corner for us all, it is just being in when they call that counts!lol Great read, thanks for sharing it, should be in bed!lol Tai
