🌸Fake Love🌸

[angst]

Are you happy?

I don't know.

But you seem happy

Yes. I am happy. But... It's an act.

You're pretending?

I'm afraid but the answer is yes.

You're pretending to be strong? For who? Her?

Don't bring Her up! She has nothing to do with this!

But you're hurt. Why continue this act?

Because I want to make Her happy. To be happy with me.

How? By hiding your weakness? Lying to Her? Lying to yourself?

I... I don't want Her to know that I am broken. Have been broken for years! I can't let Her see that side of me.

You've changed for the worse. Stop hiding behind that mask and show Her who you truly are!

No! I rather die than let Her know. She is too innocent. Too perfect. I can't taint a girl like Her!

At what cost? Your own happiness? Your own life?

If it makes Her happy.

Is She really? She is not an idiot like you. She knows something.

How can you be sure about that?

The way she acts and looks at you says everything. She knows that you're hiding something. And that something is your true self. The one you destroyed years ago.

Because I don't want my true self! I don't want to be that person ever again!

You're an idiot. I'm disappointed in you.

Nothing new to hear.

Do you even know what Love means?

Of course I do.

Are you sure about that?

Yes. That's the reason why I'm with Her. Because I love Her.

That's true. But, do you love yourself?

...

What you're doing is not Love. It is nothing near it. If you continue lying to Her, she might as well leave you.

Stop! Don't even say that!

Truth hurts doesn't it? Face the truth, you don't know what true Love is. Love starts at yourself!

I have stopped loving myself years ago.

Then what you are doing to yourself and to Her is not true Love.

Oh yeah? And what exactly do you think I'm doing?

Showing fake Love.
