Was It Really Worth It

Sitting in a hotel on a cold winters night My eye caught a vision of someone walking by A guy who smiled and said “Hi.” I said “Hi” back But little did I know He would be the love of my life for almost a year As time went by You couldn’t separate my love and I We spent days talking and singing We spent nights laughing and dancing We had our happy times We had our sad times But together we got through Then the night came I got a phone call My love said that it just wasn’t working It was hard but I said “OK,” and went to bed I cried myself to sleep But felt better in the morning Two weeks past, I got another phone call It was my love that left me two weeks ago He asked if we could give it another try I said “yes,” because I still loved him So we spent days talking and singing Nights laughing and dancing It was fun while it lasted For three months or more He held me tight and said “I love you” It was better then the first time Then June came, It was my birthday He called to say he wasn’t coming to see me He said that we were through So I cried till my eyes were red and sore I read the old love letters over a thousand times or more I thought of all the times we were together I recalled the times he said “I love you” But through it all we stayed friends Then one night he came to my door Said that he wanted to talk, said he had troubles “Ok,” I said in a small voice Then after a while he turned wild He grabbed me, he hurt me I was bruised and sore I was scared, terrified I was weak and tired For what he did to me Was it really worth it?
