I never meant to deceive, to cause her pain,
But in my fear, the truth I chose to restrain.
I feared the loneliness, the void that would grow,
So I wrapped myself in falsehood, a safety I'd know.
The words slipped from my lips, like whispers in the dark,
A facade of happiness, a fragile, fragile spark.
I wanted to shield her from the harsh reality,
To spare her the agony of losing me.
But in my misguided attempt to protect,
I built a fortress of lies, a love imperfect.
I failed to see that honesty is the key,
To truly love, to set our hearts free.
For love cannot thrive in a bed of deceit,
It crumbles, it withers, its essence depletes.
I should have trusted in her strength and grace,
To face the truth, to find a better place.
To my love, I apologize for the pain I've caused,
For the trust I shattered, the love that was paused.
I've learned my lesson, in vulnerability I'll reside,
For love without truth is a love that can't abide.
So let us rebuild, with honesty as our guide,
No more secrets, no more need to hide.
In the light of truth, our love will bloom,
A love that can weather any storm, any gloom.
