Experience is a Hard Teacher Because She Gives The Test First, The Lesson After

You know, I used to trust. I used to trust everybody. I used to trust you. I even used to trust myself but not anymore. No, now I don’t trust anybody. I’m scared to open up to anyone for fear that all this pain and heartbreak might be repeated. And yes, I got through it once, but I doubt that I could
do it again.

You see, when I first met you, everything finally made sense; everything I had ever heard of about love and friendship – it all made sense. I knew that I loved you and I knew that I cared for you, more than I had ever cared for anyone in my life. As our relationship advanced, so did my love. I grew to trust you, to respect you – I assumed you felt the same. But how wrong I really was; how naïve I turned out to be.

The first day I realised that you didn’t love me, I cried myself to sleep. The next day, again, I cried myself to sleep. Day after day, tear after tear, I realised I was growing stronger, prouder.

Then I saw you with your new group of friends. I saw you holding her like you had never held me before. I was sad and angry and hurt all over again. But then I realised that you simply were not worth it and I moved on.

One day, when one of your friends stabs you in the back, you’ll look back and remember that the person you threw away would never have done such a thing and you will cry. You will cry all the tears I cried because you will finally realise that I was the best thing that ever happened to you. You will see how loyal I was to you and you will weep at all that you have lost.

You loved me at my best and left me at my worst. I loved you at your best and continued loving you, through everything that you put me through. So where were you when I needed you? Where were you when you were the only thing I thought could keep me going?

I have taken my lessons that I have learned and I use them every day. It’s too bad you were too blind to see it when I did – because if you had, our situation would be very different indeed.

A Prayer From An Angel

A beautiful winter morning, snow is falling everywhere, I wake up to the sounds of birds, it seems as if they’re calling out my name.

I get dressed like any other morning, but something seems outta place, there’s nothing wrong, it’s just a feeling, I convince myself that it’s nothing.

Momma drives me to you house, it’s finally time at last, and now I’ve got that jittery feeling, you know the one, the one I got when I first saw you.

It’s finally time that we got wed, it’s time to tie our final thread, we make our way down to the chapel, in separate cars, its bad luck to see the bride.

I’m in a sparkling puffy dress, my shoes are tall, my hair is braided, just the way you always say is your favorite kind of look.

And I walk down the aisle, it’s so hard not to run, I wanna be in your arms, it’s time to start our lives together, let’s get this over with.

Suddenly it’s hard to believe that we are married, our moms and dads have said farewell and we are on our way to Paris.

And I couldn’t have wished for a better last night, it was perfect, just until the truck plowed into the side of the big black car, you were injured, and while I lay on the hard bed, I made a little silent prayer to the lord.

I said please save him, even though it’s much too late for me.

And this is a prayer from an angel to my6 angel, although I can’t be there with you right now, please know that you are always on my mind, not a day goes by when I miss your prayers, so here’s a prayer from an angel to an angel.

And this final prayer from an angel to her angel, I want you to know that I will always love you, our time was short but at nineteen years old, I found out what it felt like to be wed to your love.

And this is a prayer from an angel to my6 angel, although I can’t be there with you right now, please know that you are always on my mind, not a day goes by when I miss your prayers, so here’s a prayer from an angel to an angel.
