| I learned how to care with my heart... ......just in time to see it no longer mattered. I learned how to dream... ......then watched those dreams shattered. I learned how to trust with no conditions... ......then saw that used to take advantage. I learned how to love from deep in my heart... ......then felt that heart break without love returned. I learned how to laugh from deep within... ......only to find it could also be a chillingly hollow sound. I learned how to cry... ......not that I ever wanted to know. I learned how to say "I Love You"... ......then found I never should have wasted the time. I learned how it felt to die inside... ......a little more with each passing day. I learned it's possible to feel alone... ......in the middle of a boisterous crowd. I learned all of this, and so much more... ......learned why I never wanted to learn it before. |
