Trust takes years to build, seconds to break and forever to repair.
The worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your friends. Unfortunately, one of the crucial lessons I've had to learn the hard way is that, sometimes, the person you would take a bullet for ends up being the one behind the gun.
This is to the person that I trusted for years; the one who made all of the wrong choices in just a blink of an eye. This is also for all of those who can relate.
Trust is a sacred thing that many take for granted. No matter how much you trust someone, it could be demolished in only a short amount of time. It doesn't matter if you try to see the brightside of the situation because the darkness will always overcast upon it. What also doesn't matter one single bit is everything they used to say because who knows if it was even true. Who knows if anything they said was true.
You would like to think that you knew them but what they did makes that a very hard notion to conceive. I bet you are wondering why they did it. Why they let a small ounce of power take over them and turn them into everything they said they would never be. But I guess both you and I will never know. Some people's motives just don't make sense, no matter how you decide to look at them. That is the hardest part.
The second hardest part is pouring pieces of yourself into someone that decided to throw all of that away the first chance they got. Every personal story, every secret, everything you have ever done for them; meaningless.
I wish I could take it all back. I wish I had guarded myself better and I wish I had read the clear-cut signs that I chose to ignore. Knowing there was a slim possibility that I could have avoided this entire catastrophe kills me. This is a lose-lose situation because a part of me wants to go back to how everything was but the other part never wants to be so blind ever again.
Just know, things will never ever be the same again.
