From an early age I learned that you can learn to love anything.
Even when the recipient is undeserving.
I learned that "blood is thicker than water" really translates to "you have to love me no matter how many times I disappoint you"
I learned that independence is greater than dependence
I learned to trust no one
I learned that even the caged bird sing's
I learned to dismiss the icy words you line my way
I learned to love the bruises and scratches, because they make me feel deeper than I've ever felt before
I learned that even if it's wrong, or kills you in the end, you can still love it
You can love anything
Just like the way I learned to love you
And the way you learned to pretend to love me.
