Trust Me

People change and feelings fade.

Trust me, I know,
I know I promised you things,
Such as a lifetime of experiences,
All of my forever, in its entirety.
However, everything is changing constantly,
the weather outside,
our days spent alive,
even we as human beings.
You are no longer the girl I promised,
as I am no longer the person that made those promises.
It sounds appalling,
to say that I do not feel like I once did,
but I don’t.
I wish I could wait longer,
but you’ll thank me someday that I didn’t,
because it would hurt a whole lot harder
If I continued to fake my happiness,
than for me to tell you the truth now,
I know, trust me.
