Allysyn Bryant - That's What

After a year, You'd think that he would care,
A year is a long time to be with someone,
Especially when I was 16 and he was 17.
So After a year,
You'd think that he would had cared.

Jokes, Laughs, Moments, Everything that we had shared,
It was good for so long, it was special.

So What was with the smile on his face
as he walked away after breaking up
on our one-year anniversary?

I guess it wasn't so special to him.
That's What.
It was for me though.
I loved how never ran out of things to say...
How we could always make the other smile,
even on the gloomiest of days...
How no matter what was happening or had happened
we were always there for each other...
I love him, and I was sure that he loved me...
So What went wrong?

We lost it all. That's What.
Secrets. Lies. Broken Promises. And Cheating.
All factors of What was lost.

What was lost? Trust. That's What.

After a year of being together as more then 'just friends'
You think that you might know someone...
... at least enough to trust them.
But What happens when you can't anymore?
No matter how much you want to?
You Lose. That's What.
