little white lie

a friend of mine said something to me just the other night that will stick in my mind for a long time. it was heart breaking really, for both of us. people make a lot of sacrifices for love. and she does love this man, but there comes a point when you know you must draw the line. when you know things aren’t going to change. when you know this is not the person for you because their character does not match yours or their heart is just not in the right place. maybe they just dont get it, who knows..
i think so much of love. and that anyone could let their pride get in the way of that discourages me. if you have a lover, and if all you ever are is honest with them, that will be enough.

“I know he never lied to hurt me,
he lied for just the opposite,
to keep from upsetting me.

But he never really saw the connection,
that in lying to me, no matter how small, I was broken and hurt.
If he thought his true response would make me upset, he would lie.
It just made me sad to know that he didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth.
Even to come up afterward and say he made a mistake would have made all the difference.

But he could never do that.”

 

 

just tell the truth.. all the time.. before their gone and you can’t tell them anything..
