Dear Rob,<\/p>\n
I\u2019m sure you don\u2019t know what you did
\nI\u2019m sure you don\u2019t get it
\nBecause while you are perceptive and sensitive and observant
\nThere are some things that just fly right over your head<\/p>\n
So I don\u2019t think you know how badly you fucked up<\/p>\n
You don\u2019t understand that I lost all trust I had in you
\nWhen you didn\u2019t stand up with me
\nYou don\u2019t understand that I lost all desire to be near you
\nWhen I realized you wouldn\u2019t defend me
\nYou don\u2019t understand that I lost all belief in you
\nWhen the prophecy I spoke so long ago came true<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t mind his non-confrontational style that much
\nBut when it causes him to hurt someone else
\nThat\u2019s the day I\u2019m going to have a problem with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
It took five years
\nBut you finally fulfilled my fear
\nI had hoped you wouldn\u2019t
\nI had bet that you wouldn\u2019t
\nAfter five years, I thought for sure you wouldn\u2019t
\nBut\u2026 then\u2026<\/p>\n
And of course you didn\u2019t notice
\nBecause the person in question wasn\u2019t hurting you
\nYou couldn\u2019t see, like I could, that this person was going to hurt others
\nYour dedication to non-confrontation
\nWas finally about to hurt someone<\/p>\n
Last time any words of mine went to you
\nWas early August
\nIt\u2019s almost been a year
\nI haven\u2019t heard anything about you<\/p>\n
In all seriousness, I hope you are alright
\nBut I don\u2019t know that I ever want you in my life again
\nYou have proven untrustworthy
\nAnd that stung the most<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
