This Time I’ll…

This time I’ll say hello

This time I’ll avoid always saying no

This time I’ll admit I like you

This time I’ll be open to something new

This time I’ll lose some weight

This time I’ll be a better date

This time I’ll read a book with you

This time I’ll really learn to cook for two

This time I’ll make you smile

This time I’ll visit more than once in a while

This time I’ll try to have some fun

This time I’ll share my cinnamon bun

This time I’ll be a good friend

This time I’ll listen to what you said

This time I’ll say how I feel

This time I’ll be real

Because last time I was a jerk

Because last time you got hurt

Because last time you weren’t thought of

And because last time

I didn’t know how to love.
