Lies

As I implicitly mentioned earlier in some of my pieces, besides absence, there are many other things that make the heart grow fonder. One of these things are the lies that lovers tell each other before they get married. No matter how frank they try to be to each other, they can not help telling lies, especially that the latter too makes the heart grow fonder. The crux of the matter is that it makes the heart fonder for short time. Wrong are those who try to elude themselves by saying that they have never lied to their lovers. Lovers have to lie so as to gain the opposite sex' heart as firmly as possible. " You are the first one I have ever loved, " lovers say to each other. But this is not true all the time. It is so rare to find someone who dares to say to his or her lover that they have once loved. Personally, I burst into laughter when I read what a girlfriend sends her boyfriend. Boyfriends do their best to show off, thus gaining girls' hearts. Girls do their best to show that they are pure, strict and lovable, thus convincing boys of their purity. However, with time and as marriage is pronounced, married life start to lack vitality and freshness, and each one's defects begin to crop up. Each one lays his or her previous lies on the table. No one is feigning any false feelings anymore. Some promises are broken. Anyway, this is normal in any married life. And it isn't necessarily a sign that married life is unstable . Even successful couples go through these experiences. To avoid this problem, I have told the truth to some girls. But what I have done has got me nowhere, for the truth does not make the heart grow fonder. On the contrary, unlike truth, flattery or lies make the heart easily grow fonder. Telling the truth all the time, however, doesn't get one anywhere. This is mainly why I have not won the heart of the beautiful yet. I bait with sheer truth, not lies.
