I hid from the world.
No one knew the real me.
I was afraid of who I was,
of who I could be.
I wore a mask, the story of my life.
I didn't want anyone to see the tears that I cried.
I knew I was strong,
but I thought I should hide.
I didn't want to get hurt.
I didn't want any lies.
I told myself I'd never love.
I would hold my feelings inside.
I saw trust as a one letter word.
I thought it had no meaning,
it was just something you heard.
Then I met someone who I thought could change my world.
I didn't know him for very long,
but within a few months my mask was gone.
He saw the real me,
and helped me to be strong.
I gave him my heart.
I told him my secrets.
He had me believing that what we had was different.
A year went by,
the happiest year of my life.
We were still together.
I was still by his sde.
A couple months later he bought me a ring.
He said we would always be together.
This was his promise to me.
Now i sit here,
as tears sting my eyes,
telling you the story of the time of my life.
Ive realized now that it's ok to cry.
I thought it would be worth the whille,
to give him a try.
But all he left me with... was a broken smile.
