I think we all have that one person,

or two, or three, or...

We can't tell them lies.

We want to tell them everything.

The only way we deceive is by omission, 

for their protection, which

honestly

is

stupid.

 

we lie when they ask

why we are sighing and slouching

and sad,

because we don't want them to worry.

But it's better that they do.

Because sometimes they tell us we

are doing the right thing.

We are worthwhile.

We won't scare them off.

 

But sometimes we do,

and that's scarier than being alone.

If you chose loneliness, 

I am not with others.

But when people abandon,

no one is there to talk to,

which is a hundred times worse.

 

In fact, there is no comparison.

But these people carry a lot of responsibility,

and we should let them take it if they want.

We aren't forcing them 

by giving people a choice.
