I told a lie.
You always appreciated my honesty and,
Felt like you can trust me about anything but,
I betrayed that trust.
I can't remember
Since when or how it started but,
The truth was out there
I was just good at hiding it
In fact i was so good
That this lie became a reality.
Then things happened and,
My memories surfaced
I couldn't keep it to myself anymore
I didn't know how to approach you
I was scared.
Scared that you will hate me
Scared that this lie will end and,
Scared to lose a spot in your life.
No matter how forgiving you were
This lie was terminal.
I considered writing to you
Words were never my forte and,
Putting them on a paper seemed easier
Or so i thought.
It wasn't easy at all
There was no easy way to tell the truth.
I'm making up another lie
I'm not concerned about you
I only care about myself.
Why was i even troubled
I just have to keep up my lie and,
No one but me would know
I just have to forget.
Everything will be like it always has
So dear me,
Forget that you're not who everyone thinks you are.
