I thought of you…
Of how it was in the beginning.
You with your long hair and shy smile
Me with my dreams and fearless expectations.
I thought it would be heaven to be with you forever…
But false gods have tricked people before…
You cut your hair and stopped smiling
You crushed my dreams and taught me to fear.
And as for my expectations…lets just say no one ever expects to lose.

Now I’m learning to think of me…
I have long hair and a shy smile…
I don’t dream anymore and I’m winning the battle over fear.
Because you’re gone and the fear left with you.
It also scarred because now I don’t trust anyone but God.
So actually I’m in a good place. It’s a little lonely but its safe.
And in the end, I expect to win…that’s what hope is.
