Old Friend
“When you talk about something for very long, you can forget that other people have feelings.”
My old friend, who’s hurt me has sent that to me in a long conversation we had.
I don’t fight with people in a way that will hurt them with words.
You see, unlike you, old friend, I have feelings.
Others do too. I care for people. If you’re trying to persuade me, respect me first.
I will never use violent words against you or anyone in a fight. But you did.
You’ve lost me, my old friend.
