I lied to my friend--
I said I finally had a boyfriend.
They keep asking me
And I hate that the answer is
Consistently No.

I lied to myself.
I thought he liked me.
It was good enough to be true.

Right?

I liked how it felt--
Co-workers' excitement
And my blushing cheeks.

Worst of all, I lied to him--
Made it look like I didn't care.

I do care.

I do.
