now I know

ive been loved , I've been hurt a lot,
sometimes it took to late till they got caught,
ive loved too much when they loved to little,
why is this life such a riddle,

ive learned a lot, ive grown, ive healed,
I was honest when I wanted to conceal,
I hurt myself staying too long,
and loved way after they were gone,

but now I know how to love,
myself first and god above,
I know how to say no,
and when to stop and when to go,

I realized its okay to cry,
and know I won't always get the reason why,
but love yourself and its okay,
that others love will fade away,

love yourself , now I know,
and with that I will grow.
