Let's agree to disagree

I know we're trying but I don't get you and you don't get me
Acknowledging difficulty in understanding each other despite efforts.
That's ok sometimes that's just how it goes
Accepting that sometimes things don't go as planned or understood.
The world would be a very boring place if we all got along

Sometimes I get the feeling you're not listening
Expressing a perception that the other person may not be attentive.
And other times I must admit that I don't too
Admitting personal lapses in listening at times.
Most times I think it's miscommunication
Attributing issues to misunderstandings rather than intentional disregard.
And I promise to make much more of an effort if you promise to do too
Promising increased effort in communication, seeking reciprocity.
Let's decide to put our differences aside
Suggesting a decision to set aside disagreements for a better quality of life.
Life't too short for us to argue and be angry all the time
Emphasizing the brevity of life and the undesirability of constant conflict.
Drop your guard

You've got nothing to protect
Asserting that protecting oneself may not be necessary in certain situations.
The world could be a very happy place
Imagining a happier world if people allow positive things to happen.
If you just let that happen.
Encouraging a passive and open approach to life for collective happiness.
Sometimes I get the feeling you're not listening
Reiterating the feeling that the other person may not be fully attentive.
And other times I must admit that I don't too
Admitting occasional lapses in the speaker's own attentiveness.
Most times I think it's miscommunication

And I promise to make much more of an effort if you promise to do too
Renewing the commitment to improved communication with mutual effort.
It's hard to swallow your words
Describing the difficulty of expressing oneself when pride interferes.
When you're choking on your pride
Highlighting the challenge of communication when pride becomes an obstacle.
Sometimes I get the feeling you're not listening
Repeating the perception of the other person's potential inattentiveness.
And other times I must admit that I don't too

And I promise to make much more of an effort if you promise to do too
Reaffirming the commitment to enhanced communication efforts for mutual benefit.
