Half Truths

What is the truth
 but a lie
 only half told
 a warm kiss before
 the tenderness has gone cold
 a time when we still believe
 in what others say
 a time we believe
 in what we pray
 I believe…..I believe

 What is forever
  but a concept 
  of a journey  
 we yearn to travel
 it is the reason people 
 always walk forward 
 on a beach
 to leave their past  
 behind them whispering
 I believe…..I believe
