&quot;Trust is not given it is earned.&quot;<br /> &quot;Friend; Boyfriend, girlfriend, best friend, all theses words end with the word end except for family, it has I love you at the end.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Can&#039;t run from your problems but you run until you collapse.&quot;


Before I met you
I was depressed
Before I was whole
I was in pieces
Scattered across the floor

Before I knew you
I thought you were
Just another guy
Who would leave
Me while I cry

Before I left
You’d curl me back
under your arm
And ask why?

I let you go
Before you
Could ever hurt me
I ended it
Before it even started

I am not one
To forgive
I’ve been broken
Too many times
And I was not going to be
Vulnerable

But you were
The wish I knew
You were different
And I left you

I will be lonely
The rest of my life
Because I was
Afraid to take
One more chance
But I didn’t
give you one

You were
The Wish I knew
And I’ll regret it
For the rest of my life

And for that I am sorry
But I’ve been broken
too many times

My sister and I started writing a book together called The Wish I Knew and I decided to add a poem at the beginning of it to hint readers on what it was going to be about. THis is that poem.
