Well At Least I Know

Well at least I know.
That is what my former boss said 

When I let her know that I was in fact leaving

After taking time to "think about it".

Well at least I know,

Now - today - that my smartest friend is in fact mad at me.

To the point where she doesn't want to be friends.

I already have let her go so much, but it doesn't stop the hurt and pain.

Well at least I know

The reason why, even though it's, at the core, a misunderstanding.

Not that it stops anything or makes it better.

She's moving to Arizona next month, but I was hoping to stay friends.

Well at least I know

I have other friends, still here.

That my therapist didn't think it warranted her reaction either.

And that I will always love her and be her friend, even when on her end we're not.

Well at least I know

I can do my job, which has been going better,

After a really rough first year

I just have to keep at it.

Well at least I know,

And am still learning,

Who I am,

And who I choose to be.
