Loyalty is a Lie

I didn't fall for him by accident.

It started as a crack in everything I built-small, quiet, easy to ignore. Until it wasn't.

Now I'm living inside a lie that's slowly rotting from the inside out, sharing secrets I can never take back and touching a line I should've never even looked at.

He trusts me. He believes in me. He calls it love.

And I let him.

But every lie has a cost, and mine is getting harder to hide as the truth starts closing in.

When it finally breaks, something between us won't survive.
