I Wish I Never Met You.

It's hard to trust someone anymore.
They give you hopes of an amazing future,
A future full of love and adventure,
And then they take it all away.

“We’ll see when the timing is right.”
“If we’re meant to be, we will be.”

They promised me everything. And then they come up with this crap?
In my limited 24 years on this earth, there’s one thing I do know:
These are all excuses.
When someone really loves you, cherishes you, then life circumstances don’t stop them. They make it work.

“Let’s be friends.” They tell me casually.
Totally brushing away the heartache they caused me, the tears that don’t stop flowing.
Do they think relationships are a joke?
One minute they’re into me, and the next thing you know, they back out.

Today, I’m putting my foot down.
I’ve had enough.
They expect me to just get over it.
No consolation, no words of comfort.
Expecting me to just stay friends, like nothing ever happened.

I’m gonna feel what I feel,
Hold my head up high,
And focus on me.
I’ve given my energy to others for far too long.
It stops today.

I will not be taken for a ride, ever again.
No one will dare to play with my emotions ever again.
