He said he’d always be there
He said he’d always care..
Now he says he hates me,
As his girlfriend sits and stares
This is what it took to see his true colors

He must have made a joke
What I call love is so different
And he knows it too,
I saw it in the way he spoke.

But now it’s too late for him
I still love him yes,
But that love can turn to hate
As soon as he would make me break

And it’s all because
He took love as a joke…

I feel like everyone experiences this in life.. I think everyone falls for someone they shouldn't. And this is something that helped me get through it.

&quot;Though much is taken, much abides; and though we are not now that strength which in old days moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are; one equal temper of heroic hearts, made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.&quot; -Lord Alfred Tennyson
