I’m Pretending

I’m pretending nothing happened, that we are still together. I’m pretending you never went away with someone new. I’m pretending we are still a couple, that you are still nearby. I’m pretending, pretending I am still with you. I’m pretending that our love still shines brightly. I’m pretending that you still care and lying to myself each day. I’m pretending that you just stepped out and that you are not far away. I’m pretending, pretending I am still with you. I’m pretending it always summer and that winter never comes. I’m pretending life is as it was and I’m forever with you. I’m pretending you are with me and not in the arms of someone new. I’m pretending that I am smiling and that I’m not feeling blue. I’m pretending, pretending I am still with you. 20 April 2009
