I Know Now

i never knew one person could have so many emotions
 inside them at one time.
i never knew how easily hate could fill the empty void
 where love once thrived.
i never knew that lying got the world would make a difference.
i never knew that hurting me could help you.
i never knew that lovers make good fighters.
i never knew that the best of friends make the best of enemies.
i never knew that abstinence led to betrayal.
i never knew that distance makes the heart grow fonder.
i never knew that all our friends were just my friends, not yours.
i never knew how pathetic you were.
i never knew i just needed a stronger man.
i never knew i could be so unhappy.
i never knew how many hours it would take to build a tree house.
i never knew how quickly i could want to burn it down. 
i never knew how badly i could want to tear my bike to shreds.
i never knew how much i could want my house to fall to pieces because you 
helped build it.
i never knew that one man could destroy me so.
i never knew that the one man i loved was a s----y enough of a person to lie to me 
about something so serious.
i never knew that the one person who brought out the best in me would 
eventually bring out the worst.
i never knew that looking at pictures of happy times would make me so angry.
i never knew that watching my kitten sleep would one day make me cry.
i never knew that you could lie to my face and not feel guilty about tit.
i never knew how much i needed my friends.
i never knew that i could ever dislike 4-wheeler rides.
i never knew that i could hate going into the campers or the building for anything.
i never knew that i could eat a whole thing of ice cream by myself.
i never knew that i would cry myself to sleep several nights over a lie.
i never thought that i wouldn't be able to cars without crying, or ever come to a 
point where i actually didn't want to watch the Notebook.
i never knew that i could hate snow patrols "chasing cars" so much that it would 
make me cry.
i never knew that we could be apart for so long and yet your still ruining things for 
me.
i never knew that you could have the nerve to bug for a second chance.
       i'm not saying i regret it , because i don't.
                           It's just i know now.
                                       And there's no way in h---- i'm going back.
