I agree with everyone, the meaning seems very blatant to me. It kind of parallels a situation I am in right now. I have feelings for I guy i have recently become friends with, and he saw something I posted on a blog and asked what was going on. I told him I was just confused and having troubles expressing my feelings. He then asked if he could do anything and if it had anything to do with him...It was the perfect moment to tell him the truth but instead I lied and said it had absolutely nothing to do with him. I'm stuck in this web of lies now, the "mess I made" and I fear that I've lost my chance and he's walking away.
