Wanted To Know


          He wanted to know about her. But he couldn't ask questions, not open questions. She was like him ; she'd lie.

  1. Interesting post. When people meet and probably for a long time after that, honesty is a rare commodity. They construct their own past, not what is true but how they want people to perceive them. Yes, there may be kernels of truth thrown in the mix but basically what you are getting or projecting is a mixed bag of fantasy, ego, and salesmanship.
