It is in are human nature to lie, but not all lies are bad. Some lies are very bad and should be told but others protect ourselves as well as the ones we love. I don't know why it's so easy to pretend to be okay while you talk to someone. Sometimes I think it's unfair to keep it from them but in the end, I don't need to concern them because I love them to much for that. Oh, I wanna tell them, I wanna tell them so bad that it claws at my heart and gets stuck in a choked sob as I wipe the water off my screen to continue the normal conversation. I lie to protect the people I love and keep them from knowing I'm breaking with every text I send back.
