Lets Pretend!

“Let’s Pretend”

You walked across the room
Casual hello
Faint scent of perfume
I smile, happy to be, if not standing, next to you, at least near you.

Every waking moment is a game of pretend
Let’s pretend that my blood pressure doesn’t
Rise that I don’t even notice your eyes
That your scents so rancid it makes me cry

Let’s pretend

I don’t melt when you pass my way
That I don’t live for this moment everyday

Let’s pretend
My feelings are all platonic
That when I finally scoop you up and kiss you from head to toe
It’s actually quite ironic
Let’s pretend!
