I Lied to Someone I Love

I Lied to Someone I Love

I need to confess something that’s been weighing on me for a long time. I lied to someone I love deeply. At the time, I told myself it was a small lie, something that would protect them from being hurt. But in truth, it was more about protecting myself from their disappointment.

The guilt has been eating at me ever since. Every time I look at them, I feel like they can see through me, and it breaks my heart knowing I betrayed their trust. What hurts most is realizing that by trying to avoid hurting them, I ended up hurting them even more.

I don’t expect instant forgiveness. I just needed to finally admit this out loud: I was wrong. I lied, and I regret it. I want to do better, and I want to rebuild trust, even if it takes a long time.
