Every Lie We Told

8. The lie that brought us back together

The rumors of you wanting me back kept me up at night and I hated it.

 Because I knew you didn't deserve a second chance. 

Because you'd hurt me until I'd become numb.

I hated you because I wanted to hate you but didn't.

I found myself burying the list of reasons why we should never get back together.

And then I searched for the list of reasons why I should forgive you. 

But there was only one reason I could think of. 

I told myself only one thing mattered.

And I screamed it at you when I saw you. 

"I need you".
