A non-factual statement is not necessarily a lie.

That depends on what the definition of "is" is.

Nope it doesn't depend on "is."

If I tell you I'm going to Michigan, but then change my mind later because of circumstances, did I lie to you originally?

Nope.

I had no intention of telling you an untruth. A lie involves intention and a full realization that what is said is a misrepresentation.
