one day you’ll know.

one day you’ll know what it’s like to love.
one day you’ll know how i loved you.
how happy it made me to see your smile,
or to hear your laugh,
or watch you dance off beat to music.

one day you’ll know what it’s like to fall in love.
how easily someone can light up your world.
with the touch of a hand,
or the tired kisses,
and the warming hugs you never want to let go of.
how it’s different than loving.
how you will be willing to do anything for that person.
and how you’re their whole world.

one day you’ll know what heart break feels like.
one day you’ll know how it feels to pour out your soul.
you’ll know how it feels to rip yourself apart,
to fall to your knees and beg.
to cry for days on end, with no sleep, no food.

you’ll know how it feels,
to look into the eyes of the one you love the most,
and watch them leave.

one day you’ll know how it feels to not be good enough.
one day you’ll know how it feels to lose the one you’ve loved for so long.
one day you’ll know how it feels to watch that person stop loving you,
and you’ll fall apart.

you’ll try everything you can to get them back.
but you won’t.
it will be too late.
one day you’ll have to live with the fact that you let them get away.
“the one that got away”.

one day, i’ll heal.
one day i’ll stop crying.
one day i’ll know how to love myself again.
one day i’ll find someone worth fighting for.
one day i won’t have to beg for him to be with me.
i won’t have to search for happiness in the places i lost it.
i’ll laugh, sing, and dance.

one day, i’ll fall in love again.
