I Believed In Us








A Rose Is Bound





By Her Honor & Love







SultryRose's Signatures





After you asked me
if I would be your girlfriend,
I dared to open my heart a crack
and let it peek out at you.
What it saw was good.
You did not run away.
You stopped crying over her.
You started laughing with me.
You made me believe I mattered.
And now, you want to throw that away,
now that my heart is fully bared,
now that I started believing in us.

You made me believe that
you might love me soon.
You made me search for
poems about love to read,
ones I'd stopped reading
because they hurt too much.
I rented sappy love movies,
turned my radio to love songs.

The birds sang prettier songs.
The sunsets were more vivid.
Life held more meaning.
I let myself go,
opened up my heart,
handed it to you,
refraining from whispering,
"careful, it's breakable."

I believed in us,
learned to trust again.
I trusted you to cherish me.
As soon as I did,
you walked away
again.

I believed in us.
