So Now What

I befriended you when you were unfriendly
I loved you when you were unlovable
I trusted you when you were untrustworthy
I chose you when you didn't choose me
I stood up for you when you left me 
I laughed at your jokes when you weren't funny
Why did I do that?...............

Because no one is perfect and……
Neither am I so now what?

I laughed out loud after reading the title, I love how it sends out exasperation vibes that tickle me. If this is aimed at someone who needed, feeded then ignored, we've all stood in line in that store! To me, it means they weren't who we perceived them to be and I've lost nothing while they continue to be a false using case that screws up our innocent acceptance of those we feel we are reaching out to aid. It sucks, huh? Sucky people are born every 1.7 minutes I believe - ha. (asses more often)

Well said, Alexis! Sometimes a friendly verbal kick in the behind will make someone take a good look in the vanity mirror. Real truthful words inked. Love and more love always.
