Before you, I only knew of love that hurt. A love that brings so many kinds of pains. A love that breaks one piece by piece.
Before you, I only knew of sadness. Sadness that was so lonely it echoed around you. Sadness that was so hollow and empty you get lost in who you are.
Before you, I only knew of bad men. Bad men that rape and abuse. Bad men that take every little ounce of happiness out of you. Bad men who steal away everything left in you.
Before you, I was lost, broken, sad. Before you, I was not myself.
Before you, I could not love myself.
Now that I'm with you, I now know that not all love hurts. Not all love brings pain. Not all love makes you sad and hopeless. Not all men hurt. Not all men are bad.
Now that I'm with you, I see how bad I was treated by everyone before you. Now that I'm with you, I see how much love I deserved before you. Now that I'm with you, I know that I deserve you, not the men before you.
Now that I'm with you, love is magic, happiness is like the sun on a hot summer day, and no man before you could love me the way you do.
Now that I'm with you.
