You know and I know

You know who you are: The one who broke my heart but was also the glue that held it together. The one who lied about love and loved to lie about life. The one who once upon a time promised me a forever, but this forever had an expiration date.
You know who I am: The one who believed in the existence of our tomorrow, though you didn't hold the same belief. The one who fought the rain and the coming of night in hopes that it would shine a little light on the darkness that had befallen you. The one who was willing to do whatever it took to make you smile, even when that meant casting a shadow over my own happiness.
You know what you are: A boy trapped in a man's body who liked to play games of make-believe, and when you made me fully believe that they weren't games, dropped a bombshell on me and showed me that they were nothing more than that. A person I didn't know, or maybe a chameleon showing its true colors, changing into the person that I never knew existed. Maybe just a puppetmaster, always pulling on my strings and making me dance to your own liking.
You know what I know: That I can't get back what I never had. That sometimes there's just no point to the battle, but I will keep fighting until the bitter end. That no matter how hard I try to forget a person, their memory will always remain in my heart and as a part of my spirit, helping to mold who I am and who I become. And most importantly, I know I can honestly say that I unconditionally loved someone, and that's the greatest gift anyone could be given.
