I am glad I asked you. I am glad you stayed. I am glad I didn't hear those gun shots alone. I know you heard them, but I don't know if you willl actually admit to that. Regardless though, I know my thruth. Before I met you I never understood the power of other people's truths but I absolutely understand it now. Truth is a power you have to earn within people. For some that comes naturally, others...not so much.

the tops of my feet are so soft but the part that meets the ground is dry and almost cracking hard
