I don’t realize I’m crying until you brush the tears away with your thumbs. You press soft, gentle kisses all over my face, murmuring loving words and words of understanding I don’t deserve or even want. I hold you by the wrists, soaking up your torrential love like scorched earth because you’re right; we work. We make each other happy. But this isn’t what I wanted for you. In that perfect world we fantasized about days ago, we’d never hurt anyone, especially not each other.⁠
⁠
In the deceptively coaxing murmur of a lover, you ask, “How much of what you’ve told me is the truth? A rough percentage will suffice.”⁠
⁠
I push at your chest, but it’s like pushing a brick wall. “How can you ask me that?”⁠
⁠
Wry amusement curves your lips. “You lie like you breathe – without thinking twice.”⁠
⁠
That’s not true; I think about it a great deal. Piqued, I taunt you. “Maybe everything I’ve told you is a lie.”⁠
⁠
“Oh, I’m sure there’s truth in there somewhere.” Your thumb strokes over my cheekbone. ⁠
