We are afraid, only when we love, for those we love <br />But we often hurt those we love, the most <br />We are often hurt most, by those who lay claim to our love <br />We sometimes reveal only half truths <br />To get closer to what we desire <br />And when respect outweighs both desire and fear <br />We learn to be honest and speak the naked truth <br />Doing the right thing is not always easy <br />And sharing the truth doesn’t always leave you happy!<br /><br />Anita Atina<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/half-truth/
