Dear Rob,
I’m sure you don’t know what you did
I’m sure you don’t get it
Because while you are perceptive and sensitive and observant
There are some things that just fly right over your head
So I don’t think you know how badly you fucked up
You don’t understand that I lost all trust I had in you
When you didn’t stand up with me
You don’t understand that I lost all desire to be near you
When I realized you wouldn’t defend me
You don’t understand that I lost all belief in you
When the prophecy I spoke so long ago came true
“I don’t mind his non-confrontational style that much
But when it causes him to hurt someone else
That’s the day I’m going to have a problem with him.”
It took five years
But you finally fulfilled my fear
I had hoped you wouldn’t
I had bet that you wouldn’t
After five years, I thought for sure you wouldn’t
But… then…
And of course you didn’t notice
Because the person in question wasn’t hurting you
You couldn’t see, like I could, that this person was going to hurt others
Your dedication to non-confrontation
Was finally about to hurt someone
Last time any words of mine went to you
Was early August
It’s almost been a year
I haven’t heard anything about you
In all seriousness, I hope you are alright
But I don’t know that I ever want you in my life again
You have proven untrustworthy
And that stung the most
