I do not wish to be someone’s reason to stay
if staying means they must hide their truth.
I would rather be a passing light
that leaves a little warmth behind
than a home built on beautiful lies.
I want to love without keeping count,
to listen without preparing my reply,
to hold someone’s sorrow without making it mine,
and to see the goodness in another soul
without needing them to see it in me.
Perhaps the purest thing I can become
is someone who leaves no wound behind,
who speaks with kindness even when hurt,
who gives without turning love into a debt,
and who remains gentle without pretending
that the world has always been kind.

Always good to be kind and gentle ) nice writing
Dev this one sets the tone for an ideal and a good one at that. Lovely my friend
Beautiful lies ? What do you mean by that ?
By “beautiful lies,” I mean promises that sound beautiful but lack sincerity. Words like “I’ll always be there” mean little if actions say otherwise. I believe a brief moment of genuine kindness is worth more than a lifetime of false promises. It’s not about expecting people to be perfect, but about valuing honesty over appearances.
Well it’s important to be honest .but not everyone is . Some people lie … but that’s their problem … so. ….
Right yeah .. ok
Well .. some people have a problem with lying and maybe need some help …
Some people with mental health problems lie .. about things
