I can tell when you lie, did you know
that? It comes from years of having you lie right to my face. It
doesn’t really even hurt anymore, because I expect it. You pause
for exactly two seconds, then glance to the left of me, before
looking into my eyes and lying. Do you think I’m an idiot, that I
can’t figure out the truth from other sources? That I haven’t
come up with a thousand ways to find out the truth besides asking
you? So now you know, you’re the reason I don’t trust anyone. Why
I haven’t trusted anyone for years. This time it hurt. Do you know
why? I had just decided that it might be worth trusting people again.
And I might trust people again, but not you, never you.
