Lie To Me
When I opened Instagram and saw you sharing your happiness with her, the first thing that came to my mind was Lie to Me by 5SOS.
I remember the first time I heard that song. It was because of you. You sang it at the top of your lungs, careless and alive, as if the world had never taught you how fragile a heart could be. Somewhere between your voice and that moment, I began to love the song too.

How ironic it feels now. I find myself clinging to the very song you once sang so freely, because suddenly every lyric feels like it was written for the quiet ache you left behind.
“Now I wish we never met, ’cause you’re too hard to forget.”
But I could never agree with that. Even if forgetting you turns out to be the hardest thing I will ever have to do, I would never regret the strange and beautiful fate that allowed our paths to cross.
“I know that you don’t, but if I ask you if you love me, hope you lie to me.”
That line lingers in my chest more than the others.
And perhaps that is the cruelest part of it all. Somewhere in my heart, I still wish I could hear you say the words I longed for.
To tell me that I meant something to you, even if it was never half as much as you meant to me.
