Pretend that you want me to leave,
letting me walk out the door.
Pretend you didn't cry,
while your tears stain your cheeks.
Make believe that you aren't jealous,
as I walk with another girl.
Pretend you don't like me,
fooling your heart to its core.
Pretend I enjoyed it
when you led me on.
Pretend that I'm the one who did this;
that I don't deserve you.
Make believe that I am not worthy,
but in your mind you know it's the other way around.
Pretend that you don't love me anymore,
though you know it isn't true.
The games between us keep us apart,
spinning us around to other people.
Maybe someday 'we' will turn into 'us',
but for now we will pretend and make believe.

be careful what you are wishing for... you might get more than pretending - the forever end of your relationship without the way back... Good write... thank you for sharing...
