THE LOVE WE SHARED



The love we shared was special
The love we shared was true
But in truth I would have nothing
If I hadn't met you
You showed me how to be strong
You showed me how to grow 
You showed me how to fight
And how to stand on my own
There were times of peaceful bliss
And times of restless nights
There were times of having nothing
And times of terrible fights
In some ways I will always love you
For what you have done for me
And in some ways I hate you
For the way you done me
But with every love
There is the good and bad
Most of all I love you
For showing me what I had.
