I can’t make promises for the future because that would be irresponsible. Tomorrow is a different day and I will be a different person. I can’t make promises on behalf of the man I have not yet become. But I can promise you tonight. Here and now. And you can stay with me and live ferociously in the moment or you could worry about tomorrow. But if you wake every morning and I am still there, then you’ll know that I love you. Not because I am bound by a promise, but because I am free to leave yet I choose to stay.
