I used to be



I used to be wrong about a lot of things. Mostly about people. People who I admired for so long for someone they were not. People who I distrusted for things they didn't do.

I used to be certain about some facts. Like the fact that love is forever and that people don't change. Certain of my future, certain of the pain.

I used to be happy about things that stayed the same. Change never got me, differences never came.

I used to be fond of you. I used to see you with the eyes of a child and the heart of a woman. I used to protect you from the problems that YOU summoned. I used to apotheosize you although you dragged me to Hell. I used to love you and hold your hand. 

 

But I'm no longer wrong about people, I see them for who they are. I sorted them out, I came to terms and obviously I came so far.

I never happen to see others in the light of perfection. Because nobody has ever been perfect, especially not you.

I used to be scared of change but now I wish for it. It's become my best friend, my loyal tutor and I will ALWAYS keep change by my side.

Love is not forever, but it's beautiful for the moment and people will change if they're supposed to. I should never be too certain about the future, because it can change from bright to grey and from grey to bright. I should never be too certain of my pain, because it can lead to insight and insight leads to gain.

 

I never used to be certain of you and I was never wrong about that! Foresaw that you would stay the same because you never saw your mistakes. Knew that I would NEVER be the same because change comes to those who see. With the eyes of an adult, with the heart of a sceptic, a child I will never be. Never again.
