I Wish I Knew You When I Was Young

I wish I knew you when I was young So I could show you what love truly is Before you were hurt by so many others Who used you as if you were only an object, Willing to be tossed around like you were only a rag doll But only if they had time to examine your soul And take time to know who you are Then they would have taken the chance they had To love you to every last bit they contained But now as I hold your broken soul in my arms As I slowly piece your beautiful heart back together I now regret not knowing you when I was young Because if I knew you then I would have never had to piece you back together Because you would have still been whole ~11-19-17~ ~Written for the "I Wish I Knew You When I Was Young" Contest Sponsored by: Julie Leigh Rodeheaver ~ ~Also entered in the 'Choose a Topic' Contest as option A- Love and Romance~
