Stages

I was 17 barely 18,
you were the kindest but hurting you was what I ended up doing.

I was 17 barely 18,

I started getting to know the world I never knew about during high school,

I liked you and I thought you liked me too,

but no I was just a foolish young girl hoping for something that would never happen,

I was just a mistress.

I was 17 barely 18,

you were the perfect one,

was so close to being able to show you what I had to offer,

but all of a sudden you walked away.

I was 18 barely 19,

was still an immature kid thinking this was the one,

I became a woman beside you for almost 3 years,

but God has better plans for us,

the longest of them all eventually ended too.

I was 20 barely 21,

never intended on anything but you assumed it differently,

you thought I would wait, put up, and chase after you,

but honey I left that for someone else to do.

I was 21 barely 22,

heart opens up once again to the kindest of them all,

the only one would ever wait for 3 years,

the only one who still accepted me despite all the others I had been through,

you.

With many more years to come,

there's nothing to do but go on with what we have,

things happen for a reason,

accept it, live it, and learn from it.
