Lies

They were all lies

The 'I love yous' and 'I'm never leaving yous' were all just words

Something he would say to make me feel better

We haven't ended things

Not yet, anyways

But to everyone else, we have

He wants me to say we broke up to anyone who asks

Wants me to act like I'm not in a relationship with him

What's the point of being in a relationship, if you can't act like it?

I'm torn between breaking up with him

And staying with him

I don't want to hurt him

But I don't know if he'll really be hurt

I want to still be able to hug him publicly

I want to be able to call him my boyfriend

But he just doesn't want that

He let's everyone else's opinion bother him

If he really loves me, why would it matter what anyone else thinks?
