A simple lie was told.. Just to keep me safe. How was I supposed to know that u would be something I would want to keep. It never really crossed my mind that we would be together forever so a small harmless lie was told. Days went by and you and me became more friendly. Sharing the secrets of our lives to one another. Since I never really thought we would grow some more the lie just kept on going.. Best friends became something that could give us meaning we could talk for hours about nothing... Share our favorite songs... And have a blast listening to one another. He once told me a story about how someone who reminded him of me tore out his heart... Never again he said could he trust someone the same way... I remember hearing the pain in his voice, the tears beginning to fall... Sighing to myself.. How could I tell him about my awful lie? I remember him telling me that I had his trust and also his friendship.... How was I supposed to know.. That I was going to get a feeling... A feeling so strong that caused him to be on my mind constantly... Since I figured we would never meet... This lie really didn't hurt to be told... One day.. At night... A fight broke out... I'm not really too sure just what happened.. But I told him I would never hurt him the way she did..  That no matter what I would be there to listen and to comfort.. To be the friend that he wanted me to be... He asked me why... I told him because I cared. Then I will never forget this night because our friendship grew stronger... Bonded by the way we felt... This is when that little harmless lie started to affect my conscience. Afraid of hurting him... I kept my mouth shut... But If I knew I would hurt him.. Why did I keep allowing the lie to keep on growing? Weeks went by and now Love was a new title given to our blossoming friendship. Growing stronger day by day.. Someone else found out about my lie.. Lies are not something this person understands... A speech she gave opened my eyes... It reached my conscience.... and my soul.. But if only she could understand... I can't hurt him like she did... I care so much about him.. If I knew the lie was going to be so big... I would have spoken up sooner... I never thought he would turn out to be my eternal friend.. I never knew that I was going to go see him.. Now I'm stuck in a stupid lie... I know I should tell the truth.. Cause he needs to know.. But it would hurt him... And that's something I would never do for I promised him long ago, that I would never hurt him like she did.. But this person who also knows says a relationship is based on trust.. But HOW was I suppose to know!!!!!!!!!! This person means so much to me.. I need him in my life. Truth is the only option I can see. But I'm not too sure he will be able to forgive me. I guess I should tell him.. No I need to tell him. But I will do it another day.. A day when I'm ready to accept the consequence of my harmless little lie.
