"There was a girl who gave me (Leo Buscaglia) a poem, and she
gave me permission to share it with you, and I want to do that because
it explains about putting off and putting off and putting off - especially
putting off caring about people we really love. She wants to remain
anonymous, but she calls the poem, "THINGS YOU DIDN'T DO" and she says
this":
And remember the time I dragged you to the beach, and
you said it would rain, and it did?
I thought you'd say, "I told you so." But you
didn't.
Do you remember the time I flirted with all the guys
to make you jealous, and you were?
I thought you'd leave me, but you didn't.
Do you remember the time I spilled strawberry pie all
over your car rug?
I thought you'd hit me, but you didn't.
And remember the time I forgot to tell you the dance
was formal and you showed up in jeans?
I thought you'd drop me, but you didn't.
Yes, there were lots of things you didn't do,
But you put up with me, and you loved me, and you
protected me.
There were lots of things I wanted to make up to you when you returned from Viet Nam.
But you didn't.
Leo Buscaglia
