I pretend that we are hardly friends, that nothing’s going wrong.
I pretend I don’t relate the issue to all my favorite songs.
I pretend that I don’t like you, at least not in that way.
I pretend that I don’t think of you every single day.
I pretend you’re never in my dreams in the dark of night.
I pretend that I don’t see you, though you never leave my sight.
I pretend I write this not for you, but for some other guy.
I pretend that I don’t see you as you walk on by.
