Wow! Just wow! I bear my soul for the first time in years and I'm the bad guy.
You tell me to be happy and so something to be happy and stop hiding. And the first time that i do that You tell me I'm a lier and bad friend and you don't trust me any more. What? I have to be myself so long as it doesn't hurt you, or get in the way of your happieness, or get in the YOUR way.
Now I know why I hide. Why I'm not looking for love. Why I'm not going to allow myself to ever be happy. Because if I don't want to hurt you I can't do anything that resembles me or my personality.
You now have left me with two choices be nobody and hurt no one but myself, or hurt you and other people and be myself. SOME CHOICE! I so love you too best friend.
