A simple lie
Nov 8, 2022
A man enters a cafeteria…
A: What do you want handsome?
B: Honestly, do you actually think I'm handsome?
A: Yes I do.
B: Be honest, you can't hurt me.
A: Ok, I do not actually.
B: Then why did you say so?
A: I guess I wanted to make you feel good.
B: Why?
A: Why what?
B: Why were you trying to make me feel better?
A: Because that's what people do.
B: “Silence"
A: Because… Because I wanted you to like me, so I lied.
B: And how do you feel now?
A: I feel a bit strange but somehow relieved.
B: “smile"
