“If you don't trust me,
then we have nothing”,
said the one I love.
Easy for her to say,
even though she knew,
what we had,
and knew it was
so much more
than nothing.
It was something so special,
and precious and valuable to me.
There was a lot of pain for both,
generated by the mistrust.
It did the greatest of damage,
just as did the lies,
deception and betrayal,
as they always do.
“If you don't trust me,
then we have nothing”.
This was just a lot word,
but not true at all,
and she knew it.
We still had something,
we had plenty,
but for the trust.
One of the most important,
and valuable prizes,
hard to win,
easy to lose,
and almost impossible
to regain.
Almost, but not quite.
So how much effort should go into
trying to regain that trust?
I guess that depends on
how much the regret
for the mistakes that lost it,
and how much one values the other,
and their love.
Don't know how one could say,
with what we had,
we have nothing.
Don't know how.
