I guess what I wanted was a Lie- you're humor, without the cruelty in it, you're fun, without the boring. I guess what I am saying is, I wanted you without your flaws. What I've come to realize is, I was wrong. You can never ask someone for only parts of them. This shows them their whole self isn't necessary. Now, I guess what I need is the Truth. the thing is, I don't know what that is. I know so many different versions of you, I don't know the True you anymore.

Truth and a Lie
I guess what I wanted was a Lie- you're humor, without the cruelty in it, you're fun, without the boring. I guess what I am saying is, I wanted you without your flaws.
