There are secrets best left untold.

Truth doesn't always set us free, and lying isn't an option.

What always hurts is how painful truth is than lies.

Sometimes we'd rather hear and be comforted with lies. Lies are always better than the truth.

But there won't be lies if there is no truths.

When you find out they're lying, trust is at risk.

I've lied so many times. I've said so many lies.

But I'd rather stay quiet than say anything.

I want to say the truth as much as possible, and ever since her death, I'm scared of secrets, lies and deception.

I always try to read people, trying to figure out if they're lying or not.

People who knows me well know that I hate liars, but never did I noticed that the real liar was just right beside me. All this time.

Inalalayan ko si Miles na umupo, nagpasalamat siya sa akin at gumanti lang ako ng isang ngiti.

"You want water? Do you need anything?" I asked

"No Kalirea, okay lang ako" sagot niya

"Sure ka?"

"Oo, sure ako"

"Miles, I have to ask you something..."

"Go ahead" he said with a smile

I sat down and took a heavy sigh before continuing.

"Miles, ako ba? Is it me? The reason why you're like this?" I asked

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Why didn't you tell me that you have GAD? You have anxiety and you didn't tell me. I could have helped you" sabi ko

"Oh...so the Doctors told you?"

"They did and I also heard your audio recording, and I'm sorry okay? I don't wanna go through your stuff but I just got curious" sabi ko

"No, I'm sorry. Sasabihin ko naman talaga sayo eh, kaso you've been really sad these past few days and ayokong dumagdag pa" sabi ni Miles

Instead of replying, I hugged him instead.

"We both need a hug" sabi ko

"Miles, tell me everything. Don't keep it all inside okay? It's bad for you, and please ayokong may tinatago ka sa akin. Sabihin mo sa akin ang lahat" sabi ko sa kanya

"I will, thank you so much Lira. You don't know how comforting that is for me. Thank you"

"Lahat kayo mahalaga sa akin, I'd do everything just to make you guys happy" Sabi ko

"Even Marco?" He asked

"Even Marco" sagot ko

Even though what he did is pure bullsh*t, I still care for him.

Once a friend, will always be my friend.

It's weird how I always tell people not to care too much, yet I'm a person who cares for other people too much who doesn't even bother to look at me.

Nagpadischarge na si Miles and nakiusap si Miles na wag sabihin sa pamilya niya ang nangyari.

"Speaking of your family, kamusta na pala sila tita? Pati si Manzo? How old is he?" Tanong ko kay Miles while walking out of the hospital
