I ws skeptical.
You said I HAD to trust you.
I wanted to believe you.
You BEGGED me to trust you.
You were so earnest, so persuassive, so charming. SO boyish & sincere.
I said I knew that if I could learn to trust you, it would make me a better person in so many ways.
You wrapped your arms around me.
I allowed myself to be convinced.
You begged me to trust you.
And I did.
You said I was the one person in your life with whom you could always be open, honest & revealing.
You said I was the last person on earth you would ever wamt to hurt.
You said I meant so much to you... so very much... and always would.
You said, 'I would nevere, never, never, want to hurt you'
I said, 'If I didn't already love you so much, I would love you even more."
-Diane Schoemperlen, "At A Loss For Words"
This quote makes me seem like I am pinning away, but I am not however, I just had to show it because I think it sums up what so many of us feel, at some point. I love the way Diane writes. She writes directly to her subjects & it reads like a journal entry. It is very honest. Love that.
