Postcard Prompt

I'm on a tall roof top facing the beautiful blue with white fluffy clouds skyline of New York City.
I can see the empire state building and the space where the twin towers once stood.
I can feel the breeze which is not too hot, not too cold maybe a little windy.

That fact that I am able to stand here now and see this is just breathe taking.
This beautiful view was not always this still, quiet or peaceful.
I can see a meadow of tress with the fall look reaching NYC.
If you were here back then you would've felt just awful.

From here it looks like it would never allow danger to be part of it.
But many years ago this now peaceful place was a painful and unrecognizable view.
I see there's an empty picture frame by my feet maybe someone had an idea just incomplete.
I can stand here and see it all as I take this frame and make it whole
I lift it up into the sky so that frame and city can meet. 
I fill it in with the NYC view, I just wont ever forget what fills in that hole. 

Love hurts

         When I was 18 I fell in love with a guy who I thought would be the man I would marry, have kids and eventually grow old with. We began dating at the end of my sophmore year until the beginning of my senior year and I can honestly say it was a dream-like relationship, we never really argued, we were always together in school since my mother was strict we could barely see eachother outside of school. We would match outfits, sneakers  and even get female/male version of new fragrances. We were so close people considered us one of the best couples.
        Towards the end of our relationship I noticed he began to get jelous and didn't trust me the way he did in the beginning. I didn't understand what the problem was and why we were falling apart. I remember one day one of his friend's called. He began to ask me a series of questions about my relationship which really didn't make sense to me but I thought this guy was his "friend" so I really didn't see much harm so I answered. Also, in hopes that maybe he would help us get back to where we were in the beginning just missed being happy and close to him.
    The next day at school, he came up to me with a bag full of our pictures and other stuff we had given to eachother through out the time we had spent together and with out any explanation walked away. Till this day I do not know what caused him to break up with me that way but all I know is that he ended up taking the school whore to his prom and I assume that his "friends" had a lot to do with it. I dare to say that the series of questions from "his friend" were all meant to make me look like I did not care to expose our relationship to someone other than eachother.

Dear Poet,

How to earn trust after cheating?

First, I have to urge you to look with in yourself and ask why did I cheat? Then, according to your answer then and only then can you really and truly believe that trust can be earned again. Ask yourself, am I willing to be patient and wait for the other person to heal so that he/she can forgive and continue to be in a relationship with me or will I cheat again?

Depending on why you cheated (not that there is a reason/excuse for that action) but if you know that deep in your heart you intentionally did it and are not willing to change meaning don't even feel remorseful about hurting your partner and you will probably do it again then you must be honest and make the unselfish decision of talking to your partner about not being in that relationship or taking a break from each other.

Now, if you are deeply sorry for what you have done and mean it and know deep inside that it was an awful mistake you would a thousand times take back and are willing to do anything and everything to win your partner back then you should try it by first apologizing and proving yourself because at this point your partner is what you don't want to loose.
