Clarification of I

Deceit-The action or practice of deceiving someone by concealing or misrepresenting the truth. *Inhale* *Exhale* Beware of the wolf in sheep's clothing.

You've driven me to have a cold unforgiving heart towards you. Yet I do my best not to soil your name among those we share commonalities with. After all I care about the way I present myself. You give little thought to that, having always been the fool.

I should probably go and talk to someone as to why our situation has such a hold on me. Maybe, it’s due to the fact that I don’t know you…well I mean I know you…but I don’t know you. I barely learned when your birthday was a year ago, I don’t know your favorite food, favorite color, T.V. show, sport…. nothing.   Maybe this is something you’ve never thought of? It wasn’t until recent that I began to think on these subjects. What was happening...
