bared my soul

Today I bared my soul with my boo. We just sat and talked about where we are and where we want to go together. It wasnt exactly what I wanted to hear but I have to respect the conversation because we were just being 100 with each other. We really talked and I dont think I have ever been that honest with anyone. Im glad that we are able to keep things the same for now but I just dont know how long I will be able to do it. I care about him and he told me that if I were to find someone else tha he would understand and that he wouldnt hold it against me. But its like how would it look if I want to be with him but im gettin at someone else. I dont plan on going anywhere and I know where he is coming from, but after considering all my options there are a possible 3 outcomes and 2 of them end up with me hurt and I dont want to get hurt. So I dont know.... I think these excuses are bullshit but its how he feels that is just the way life is I guess....
