The big fat lie
So he finally knew the answer. In fact the only way out. He was brilliant to have thought of it. It was the only way he could save himself. It was not redemption. It was cheating himself into it. But again, he had no choice. He had lied. The big fat lie. With the straightest face he had in himself. With the most nonchalant honesty he could feign. But he couldn't live with it. He would never be at peace. And he did not have the courage to come clean because it would mess up the one good thing that happened to him in life. He couldn't live with her shattered expression for the rest of his life. He was selfish. A selfish coward. So he took the option. Yes it pinched his morals a wee bit. But it was worth it. He created other reasons. So she would leave on her own. Reasons completely different from that one lie. He would fool himself into believing she had other reasons. And he would brilliantly escape the guilt. Like with all genius plots this one had a major flaw too. He was now lying to himself. And its a lie that's caught not once and not twice in your head but every single waking moment of your life. The big fat lie would have passed the baton.
OR so she thought.
She had a vivid imagination, almost to the extent of being dangerous. Life is fucked up. She was a little more fucked up than that.

What you perceive, your observations, feelings, interpretations, are all your truth. Your truth is important. Yet it may not be completely true. Half truth can be as dangerous as half knowledge.
You will know the truth in life if you really ask for it.
@ Anonymous: Truth is an absolute. And my truth may not be the truth. And no, you don't always get to know the truth if and when you ask for it. But you can always choose and learn to live with it.
Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.
Here again, like in everything else you've written, I wonder who is it you're speaking to.
Why do people put Anonymous message, I just wonder!
truth is so beautiful, its like 2 mirrors between you and me, where you see your truth for me and i see mine...
