Those arms hugged me for several minutes, while tears streamed down my face, while hands stroked my hair, and in my head, I begged for forgiveness. Sorry for being foolish, sorry for being so insensitive, sorry for being emotional sometimes, sorry for screwing it up time after time. A few tears fell from those eyes too, and it hurt me to the core because I knew it was genuine, and I had caused pain.
However, the truth still hurts. And it will always hurt.
