Stay: Truth hurts

Truth? You want the truth? 

True, it would be hypocritical of me to tout honesty and not be honest myself. 

Okay, I'll tell you the truth: If I left with nothing but this slim memory of him, it would have been worth it. If he were the only connection I ever made, it would be worth it. 

Yes, that is why I'd stay. For him.

Because he's human even when he tries not to be. Because beneath it all, he's... tactile. He has substance you can feel.

That is the real truth. 

Okay, okay. I concede It's not the real real truth.

Well, I haven't said it because it hurts. And that's the real real truth. 
That we both hurt the same way.

Yes, for that I'd stay.
