Before you I had no worries, I was happy and free, or at least I thought I was
In hindsight I was still a little boy running around and pretending I wasn't an adult because
If I stopped pretending it would mean I wasn't going to have fun anymore
But that all stopped when you walked through the door
When we met we clicked we understood each other perfectly
When we thought of our future if we'd always be together, certainly
When I was with you I was happy but in a different kind of way
I felt like an adult who had his whole life together, but with you I could still play
You kept me on track so my life wouldn't be wasted on parties and ****
But at the same time you made me think you were all that I would need
I didn't see it for what what we were, I saw a partnership
But when I was in a bad place you said you wouldn't stay on a sinking ship
You taught me that I'm valuable and shouldn't be tossed aside
But you taught me not everyone will stick with me for the ride
You taught me so much in our time together
Unfortunately one of those lessons was that we weren't forever
I opened up my heart for you like I never had before
Then you opened up your legs for him and left your ******* on his floor
You made me think I was the problem and the reason we would drown
But in reality, you were the captain, and your ship is going down

My friend Niko wrote this about lessons learned last year. It's true, what they say, the first cut is the deepest. I wish him well in his heart's recovery.
