I Lied To You Last Night
August 26, 2009
As we sat together, you not feeling well, you asked me if I knew where there were any headphones. You were looking to engage in something that might serve as a necessary distraction from *blech* and simultaneously not “bother” me.
I said, “No.”
It wasn’t entirely untrue. I didn’t “know” for sure. But was in fact unkind and lazy and did not show the care I promised to you.
I could have, I should have, gotten up and looked. It wouldn’t have taken long because I just found them and thought of you and thought less of me for not having done so last night.
I am sure that things like this happen everyday in relationships.
The “lie” we tell seems quite harmless until we weigh it against the value we have stripped from the care and kindness we could have showed.
I’m sorry.
