Now...Then


Now..respect; then...no respect

Now...partnership; then...riding the coat tails

Now...trust; then...unease

Now...creating our world together; then...living in another's world

Now...united we stand; then...divided we fall

Now...belonging together; then...together under false pretenses

Now...forever; then...until "better" comes along

Now...happiness; then...hurt

Now...true love
