Heartfelt

28

trust me

I've been broken before
i know how it feels to be let down
by people that were really close to me

i know how it feels to see those I cared for
be interested in a new person

or someone from their past

I know how it feels to see them distant themselves

from me with them knowing and not apologizing

I know how it feels when there is no one to talk to about how you truly feel

I know how it feels to be alone with your thoughts and thinking the worse

I know how it feels to mistrust people even when they have good intentions and letting them down

I know how it feels to build up walls for your protection and letting nothing break them

I also know how it feels to find a person that is willing to build a trust with you and stay with you no matter how many times you've ignored them, told them you were better off alone, told them you were fine

Telling them lies

I know how it feels to have a person show you the love you needed from the beginning

I know how it feels to have a person that is willing to wait on me knowing how my past affected me

I know how it feels to finally have a person you can pour everything out and they don't judge

I finally know how it feels to be important to someone no matter what is going on

I know how it feels to feel respected and give that same respect back

I know all of this because I went through both of them

And I have learned

Sometimes the person you've known for years can only show you what you want to see in a person, be manipulative

And the person you've know for less than a year can be what you need in a person, support and true
