The Funny Thing About Pretending...

Is that it never lasts.

Oh how I wish it could-

Because then I could pretend you were still here,
And it would be because you wanted to be...

And you would be who I thought you were
Instead of who you are;

But that pretending,
Is only a dream.

And I wish you

Could be here
To pretend with me.

You obviously did-
That's all that was,

And honestly-
I guess I have no self respect,
Because I wish it would have lasted,
Even if it was only me

Being real and you pretending...

The funny thing about pretending
Is you get addicted to it,
And forget it isn't real...

I miss pretending I didn't know the truth,
And you pretending that you really did care about me.
