Love Lies | Twenty Two

And there I was standing motionless, thinking about all the wonderful moments. Thinking about the good times. Reassuring myself that she didn’t really mean what she said. Saying to myself that she must have had a rough day and she badly needed a friend.
I was looking in her eyes thinking that what I just heard was wrong. But then she said it again, she said ” I’m sorry Tej, I didn’t mean to do it but it happened”. All I could think at the moment was that she was trying to fool me but then I saw that look on her face. I knew she wasn’t lying, I knew she wanted the other guy more than me.
I wasn’t able to move at all. I tried to move my lips to speak but then tears started to roll down my cheeks and it became difficult for me to say something. I just asked her one question, “does this make you happy?”. And she said “Yes”. Then she walked away after saying that. That day I lost all hope I had, I knew that love wasn’t a true thing. I realized that it is just a lie. A sugar coated lie.
