Pretend

Treat me like you love me,

just pretend you really care.

Let me believe I’m happy.

Just as long as I dare.

Touch my hand softly,

whisper sweetly in my ear.

Tell me that you love me,

take away my pain and fear.

Trace a path of passion,

so silky sweet and hot.

Make me feel beautiful

even if I’m not.

I can be your soulmate,

I can give you lust.

Revel in emotions

before they turn to dust.

Then when my dream is over,

you walk away from me.

Go back to your life,

I’ll go back to reality.
