When life gives me a reason to cry, I'll show life that I have 1000 reasons to smile.

I don't think I ever knew you. You never even smiled.
I don't think you ever loved me. You treated me like a child.
I don't think you ever cared. You never could read my face.
I don't think our love was real. You were clever, but you were fake.
I don't think you knew your strengths. You sure knew where I was weak.
I don't think you ever listened. You never ever let me speak.
I don't think you ever remembered. You only knew how to forget.
I don't think you were ever kind. You would make my blue eyes wet.
I don't think you held me with care. You pushed me 'till I broke.
I don't think you had me in your heart. You acted like I was a practical joke.

I don't think I could handle each tear. I couldn't be in love with someone so wrong.
Now I can't even remember your name. Because I'm the one with a heart so strong.

Being strong is what pulls you though the bad times. To forget somebody that you used to be in love with is only possible when your heart can be strong.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
