Causing Damage

I’m so undecided about the way things are. Did I do the right thing by speaking the truth or should I have kept my mouth shut? The truth ended up causing damage that can not be repaired; however, I wonder if I had kept quiet how our relationship would be now? Would we still be friends and would you still have my number? I know deep down in my soul had I not spoken up, I would have been eaten alive by all the uncertainty. Doubt would have crept in and nestled into my mind. I wouldn’t have really been there with you, because I would be secretly questioning you. So, I guess the truth was the easier of the two but I sure do miss you.
