TRUTH: noun, that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality
An interesting word, I sometimes like to imagine that your truth was not what eliminated mine. Unfortunately, the red you slashed against my coat left a stain, one that refuses to be washed away. Then again, how do you wash away something so impressionable?
