Love and Lament
“Don’t worry, your secret is safe with me. I was just wondering if that secret is still true.”
“I.. no,” I said, denying it. Although I know that I shouldn’t be lying to her, I don’t regret it fully. Partly because I’m not lying completely. I don’t just have a crush on him, I love him. There’s a difference between liking and loving.
“You know there’s a difference between lying to others and lying to yourself,” Sapphire said, turning to look at me.
I stared into her sapphire blue eyes and let the light of entering into the space sparkle them. “I’m not lying to anyone. Not even to myself.”
