That Soft Interior

theres something about actually seeing someone for the first time. sure, you've seen them physically before. but maybe not emotionally. like underneath that rough exterior, theres a side of someone you never saw. and the thing is, this epiphany comes to you at the strangest moments. like when you're lying in bed, listening to a conversation you probably shouldn't be listening to. or when you're in the middle of bashing that person. then, when you relate what you learned to what you're saying to their face or behind their back, the pieces fit & you suddenly have so much more respect for the person they are underneath. and now that i know this about someone, it makes me wonder why they aren't this inside person all the time, instead of the one causing trouble & ruining things.
