Could you tell me that you love me? Even if it isn’t true... Could you let me kiss you one more time, The way you used to do? Could we sit out in the old porch swing, And watch the sun go down? Would you smile for just a little while, Instead of wear a frown? Then I’ll pack my battered suitcase- And take my blanket roll- Out from behind the sofa... Where I stashed it years ago. I’ll walk on out of your life- The way I once walked in... Even though you do not love me, Could we just this time pretend? < !signature--> "Things get complicated when you get past eighteen, and the further past eighteen you get... the more complicated they become".

Sometimes it's easier to just pretend......if only for a moment. Enjoyed the read. Jenn |

Strange how such a fire can go out and no one can explain why......so those reflections on the good times become the strongest thing in a relationship....well written and welcome to Passions take care......ethome.. |

DiscordantNote~ While I may disagree with the 'pretending'... I did enjoy your view on it. 'I’ll walk on out of your life- The way I once walked in...' I found this to be a great line.

I guess all of us want to pretend at some time in our lives. Maybe it can help. Maybe. I hope you mend quickly though, in case it doesn't. |

Pretending just isn't worth it, but I can sure relate to what you're saying here. This was a great poem, though sad. I hope things work out!! Oh, and WELCOME TO PASSIONS! <*\\\>< The will of God will never lead you, where the grace of God cannot keep you. |
