Our love's funeral

''We've been together for so long and I know my heart will never be the same. I don't know if I can trust anyone after all the broken promices I've suffered from. But I'm telling myself I'll be okay.

The thoughts you loved to think about, the memories you wanted to hold up to the light, it suddenly seems a lot safer to lock them in a box, far from the light of day and throw away the key. So, the real question is will I ever find someone different, someone who I can trust to never ever hurt me the way they did?''
