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.
