Before You

Before you I never knew love
Before you I had complete trust
Before you i never wanted so much
Before you I had only dreams

I was serious I didn't want serious
But I seriously didn't know
You would just want I need
To be what I needed

Before you I could barely see
Before you I only had dreams
Before you I thought I had it all
Before you I knew nothing at all

But I didn't know
You would just break my heart
I thought all my dreams had become cemented
Now i'm left feeling demented

Now that his walked away
I'm here feeling betrayed
I guess I gave him too much thought
To him I was a prize to be brought

I remember why I don't love
I remember why I dont trust
Times i see his face again
all I feel is the pain again

Before you I had complete faith
Before you I have my self respect
Before you I didn't know pain
after you, Il never feel that way again

I remember why I dont love

Emotionally penned piece Crystal.Many of us can relate to this. I recently had to decide to stay in a relationship I really wanted to be in or let go because my partner didn't feel the way I did. It was the hardest decision, but I walked away. You deserve to be with someone who truly wants to be with you. I understand your pain, but know that God gives His toughest battles to His strongest soldiers. Not long from now you are going to smile non-stop and love again. We all deserve to love:) Hugs B
