To Tell The Truth
When does a relationship hit the stage where past wrongs are revealed?
At what point do you spill the dark secrets of your past?
Or are these things better left in our hearts?
I ask these questions because I truly don’ know. I think there are many instances where telling someone the whole truth isn’t necessary. Like I don’t think it is my lover’s business how many others I have been with. I have no interest in his “number” and I don’t expect him to care about mine. It’s him I am with and him I am faithful to. That should be the end of that discussion.
But there are other things, deeper things, more tragic thigns. Things that we don’t even like to think of ourselves that are a big part of who we are. I have many skeletons in my closet but there is one that stands out in my mind. It was one event that changed my life forever. It changed the way I think about things, especially in the future.
As I have mentioned there is someone who has recently entered my life in a most unexpected way. He does’t know about this shameful past of mine and while he insists he has his own sins that are undisclosed I fear that this may be different.
So what do you say? Do you spill your heart to the one you love or are there things you keep locked away?
