"You know?"

My hand grips a promise, not knowing the glass is half empty. What I thought would be our life. You changed your mind. My life in so many pieces I can’t fill the hole
My hand grips my heart, and in it I know.
Why did you tear me apart again? Along the edge a thread torn and imperfect like my life before. My hand grips heart and its shattered remains. I pick up my heart and its imperfect brokenness many times over but I’ll never be the same.

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
