IF YOU HAD TOLD ME,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wore makeup    ---       or not
My skirts were short ---  how short
I lived    ---          where
I took jobs  ---      what jobs
My friends were ---   who
I spent Christmas  ---   where
----------------------------------------------------------
You didn't tell me.
He adored me.
That man  dictated  me whether or not I wore make up   how short my shirts were   where I lived what jobs I took     who my friends were and where I spent Chrismas .
I would laugh at you .
There was not a hint of violence or controler anger in him at the begining.

If you had told me  

that this smart, funny, sensitive man who adored me would one day dictate whether or not I wore makeup, how short my skirts were, where I lived, what jobs I took, who my friends were and where I spent Christmas, 

I would have laughed at you, because there was not a hint of violence or controlor anger in Conor at the beginning  .
