A Penny For Your Thoughts

I’m not good at reading silence. Sometimes what’s not said says way more than what is... I almost don’t want to know. I’m afraid it’ll be hurtful, but it’s something I need to hear. How about a penny for your thoughts? Would five or six cents spare me lies? Do two nickels sweeten the pot, or perhaps three dimes for two or three honest thoughts? Okay, just one then. I’ll even up it to a dollar for one clear, loving thought, that’s all I want … it’s all I need, but it has to be the truth. I would never tell you this, but you could have me and everything I own if, just for once, you told me the truth.
