Today

You can lie to me today.
The truth about yesterday can be told tomorrow. 
But for today, tell all I've wanted to hear for so long. 
Make the promises you wouldn't for fear of not keeping them. 
I'll only hold you to them until the days end.
Today make me believe what I've been skeptical of. 
Let's not discuss or dig deeper.  Let's not analyze or rationalize.  

Truth calls us to action. And I have no strength for action.
I'll wait for tomorrow for truth to be known.
We'll just lie together, and lie to each other and hope the truth does not disturb us.
I will wrap myself in each tale you tell me as if each will protect me.
And I will cherish every moment of sweet ignorance.
So, lie.  Lie to me today. 
The truth about yesterday can be told tomorrow.


Then I will decide what lies to tell myself.
