When we were together, I saw what I wanted to in you
I ignored the other things that I should have paid more attention to
I believed your words over anyone else
I believed your word over physical evidence
You cheated on me and I still believed that she didn't mean anything to you
She must have though because you chose her
I ignore the pain
I hate the pain that I caused myself
She tried showing me your real colors
Instead of listening
You made me hate her
You made me hate any girl that you ever dated before me
Now I am able to talk to them
It was weird at first because I learned to hate her
I come to realize that her and I have more in common than I thought
You didn't like how much we were alike
You made me hate her and then later than I would have liked
I learned the truth
Did you believe that one day I wouldn't learn the truth?
The truth always comes out
Did you not want me to learn it before you hurt me because you knew that I'd look at you differently.
I shouldn't still think about it but I do
It made me so much more aware of my relationships
It made me close my heart off because I am scared of hurting like that again
I thought that you'd never hurt me but you did
I still can't hate you I just don't like being around you
I shouldn't think about it but you made me see things that I never wanted to
I think about it in every relationship
I closed myself off for the longest time
I didn't open up until they got to know me
Still I take precautions because I am scared that I will drive them off
