A Lie

I lied.
I told you that blue
Is my favorite eye color
And I watched as the light
In your honey eyes faded.
Your shoulders slumped,
Your gaze grew distant,
And I,
I lied.
I wanted to bring back
The light in your eyes,
But I didn’t know how.
I wanted to say something –
I should have said something –
But I didn’t.
I should have said:
“Your eyes are my favorite color,”
Because that’s the truth.
