Thanks Troy!!

A friend told me something that made me think: He helped me out when I was in 
need. I was beat up about a guy. Who constantly continued to lie. My friend could 
see that I cared for this guy and he whiped the tears away from my eyes.
He said: 
"Anyone can break up, anyone can lie, it's all about trust and if you loose that try 
compromise." I looked up at my friend to get a better understanding of what he 
said.
He continued: 
"I see you care for him and I see he messed up but even though he lost your trust 
what would go through to be with him?"
I understood where he was coming from, and i knew what he meant. Alot I would 
go through for him. 
My friend said:
" This is just an obstacle that I know you can over come,. Don't loose your love
because that nigga acted dumb."
My friend opened my eyes. To the fact that people make mistakes. And to forgive, 
A strong heart it takes.
One more thing he had to say:
"whipe your eyes and talk to him. You love him that I can clearly see, tell him what 
your feeling. Let him know it's real. No matter how "hood" he may try to be, 
believe me, love will set him free. He'll break down and apologize for all that he's 
done. Don't let this get to you. Your too strong."
I hugged my friend and thanked him for the talk. Now it's time for me to talk to the 
guy and I know exactly where to start
                                                                      Thanks Troy!
