White Lies [Completed]

_______

'I said we could be friends.'

"Yeah.."

'I thought I could make it work."

She stood there.

'But I was in pain.'

"Mhm.."

'So I started telling you lies..'

She took a seat on a bench.

'It got bad.'

"Not really.."

'No, not the white lies I told you.'

"Oh?"

'I started telling myself I didn't love you.'

Her eyes fell to the ground.

'But I want to love you.'

She brought her knees to her chest.

'So..I came here..to tell you.'

"Okay."

'You are the source of my lies.'

"I'm sorry."

'And I love you. I can't keep it in.'

She looked at me and smiled.

'I don't want to lie to myself..'

"Well,"

'No, wait.'

I grabbed her hand,

and she tightened her grip around mine,

creating a bond between us.

I pulled her from off the bench, and into my arms.

"I love you too. I miss you even more."

'Good.'

"But..you left me."

'I don't want to talk about that. I fucked up.'

She was perfect. In every way, shape, and form.

From her pale skin, to her brown eyes.

I would no longer lie.

Not even, small little..

             White lies.

Because I found out,

That they aren't innocent.

And white lies,

           can kill.
