The Honest Truth

The honest truth is sometimes hard to take.
Friends come and go; we try and be good to them, we try to be ourselves. But sometimes you can see their hearts hardening, sometimes it's like watching water freeze into ice. Bit by bit, you watch them change; you watch them shut the door. And the light that you once saw in them starts to flicker, starts to burn out. We hold on for as long as possible, but it's like holding on to a wet fish, it's not meant to be held.
