The truth hurts
I realize you hate me now.
Took a risk, considered it, decided.
You must be confused right now.
I've been very confrontational, I know that, and yet I laugh.
For the first time, someone stood in front of you, telling the truth you deserve.
Although it's not easy, so hard, to say, I'll admit.
Cuts deeper than 1000 razor blades.
Can be devastating. Yes, I know....
You hate me, and that's okay.
Better you hate me for being honest,
than that I'm yet another person around you,
who will never be your real friend,
who doesn't know it's definition.
I really love you, one day I hope you'll realize.
So just hate me now, it's okay.
You'll come back to me.
I'll wait for you,
like a true friend would do.
One day....

Ever had to tell someone the hard truth? Most don't... cause they know it will hurt the other. What's the choice you make, walk away or do you tell the truth? No matter how much it hurts the other...Are you even a real friend when you don't? Thoughts....

Let me remind you that I wrote;

Meaning; no phone, a bit sexist to assume it's about a woman, it is not stated which truth is involved. Telling someone the truth over the phone, I think that's pretty cowardly
Thanks for stopping by.

Harsh questions and even harsher circumstances to ponder. I would really hope that I would have enough strength to be on either side of this scenario. I hope too, that my sense of goodness, understanding and compassion would be strong enough to do the right thing, as well.
I think for myself, I'd never really know until boldy confronted and forced to make a particular decision. It's intriguing and thought provoking to contemplate. I can definitely understand the hurt/pain (on either side of this equation) and an ingrained, strong sense of self that it would take to do what you've described. I also believe that in the end, those who love you like best friends do; will eventually see the light. Hopefully they'll return, once some hindsight is in the rear view!
Really great, wholly honest ink.
