13 years go by...

I didn't see this coming. Not until it was already staring me in the eyes. By the time I felt the truth of the matter stirring in my gut, I was too enthralled to look away, to deny it. As simple as it should be, this truth refuses to be easy. It has no mercy for the feelings of others. It has already trampled on some. Now here I am, here we are, but my time is brief before I'll be where I would rather not, where you are not. But the truth can still reach me there. And that is where we must find our suffering together.
