Maybe

Maybe... you'll like it.

Shattered,

All at once.

Several years of rebuilding and learning to trust,

Gone.

In a flash.

It only took a few words said, a couple false promises made.

Everything I had worked for, down the drain.

All for the childish boy, who wasn't worth my time.

So many tears cried, over the boy who will never even look back.

I remember the times in which he kissed me

and I realize how even then, I knew there was something wrong.

Something unreal.

About the way his lips felt against mine.

And I understand, that when he would whisper "I love you"

the words rolled off his tongue much to quickly.

He had said them so many times before.

I thought,

"Maybe I'm different."

"Maybe he won't hurt me like he did them."

"Maybe he's changed."

But now I see, that trust cannot be based on "maybe's" only definites.

I remember all the lies he spoke when he'd look me in the eye and smile, as his hair fell in front of his face.

I used to think that his eyes in mine, meant there's no way he would not tell the truth.

I used to think that sly smile was meaningful, now I realize it was just a hoax.

I was wrong.

I swore I'd never trust again.

I swore that I'd never fall again.

I swore that it wasn't worth it.

Love couldn't be worth it, could it?

I had supposedly fallen in love.

Twice now,

Only to be let down, or lied to.

I decided that, maybe love doesn't exist.

Maybe it's just something hopeless romantics like me dream of,

and it never really happens.

But then someone came along who showed me,

If I had really loved,

I would not regret it.

So, I realize now that I never loved the boy who broke my heart.

He was never worth my tears, because he'd never care I was crying.

And, I see that maybe I should trust again.

Maybe there is someone that is worth it.

So suddenly, "maybes" dont seem so bad.

Because, now I recognize,

Maybe love really does exist,

and maybe I can fall, and not end up hurt.

And as for the person who taught me this,

Maybe I'm in love.
