What Lies in Your Eyes

"What?"

He took a step towards me.

"It was the first time that you said the truth."

I punched his shoulder but he just freaking laughed at my frustration.

"Can you stop doing that lie detector thing? It's not funny anymore!"

I thought he'd reply with something sarcastic. But his only answer was his chuckles that sounded far from being happy.

"It definitely isn't," he mumbled, his voice laced with pain. "It's been years, but it never gets funny. Nor does it get better."

It made me wonder how those eyes could make me feel so much pain when all he did was tell me something true about himself.

And here I was, just constantly telling lies.

I hugged him as he tried his hardest not to break in front of me. Right there and then, I promised not to hurt him anymore.

Maybe what makes us so contradicting could make us fit for each other, after all.
