Teaching Me / Learning You

Teaching Me:
Becoming a single father at sixteen was never something I dreamed of, but my daughter became everything I’m living for.

That is…

Until the new teacher’s assistant came into my life.

Teaching me I could have it all.

He was supposed to be someone he’s apparently not.

I came into this with a mission, to ruin the boy who destroyed my family.

But I’ve since learned that’s not what or who he is.
He is teaching me to love, not only him but the little girl I was led to believe he stole.

Will he learn who she really is and why she came into his life?

Learning You:
Just when I thought you were everything I never knew I needed in my life, I discovered your secret.

The reason you became a part of my life, became a part of my daughter’s life.

You destroyed all the trust I gave to you.

Learning you, your past, and your struggles. The lies you, yourself, believed, tore apart what we were building.

Now, I have to figure out if I’m ready to forgive you or do I need to forget you.

I thought I knew what he was about until the truth reared its ugly head.

I’ve been lied to for so many years and have done so many things I have now come to regret.

Learning you and your love for your family has changed everything.

You taught me what pure love is, now I need to learn how to trust the feelings inside me.

Is there a way we can fix what I broke?

Can we overcome the hurt and leave the past behind?
