Please Don't Pretend

For years I have been
hoping someone would come
along and love me.
Some said they did
but they didn't.
Some said they would
but they couldn't.
Some said they would
love me forever
and they didn't even
know how to be
a friend.
If you truly love me,
go ahead and say so,
if not, please
don't pretend.

I have one
that I love.

Honesty is so very important in any relationship.
Good one James.

Definitely, it's better not to pretend, to prevent heartache.

Your PS is comforting, dear James! I did not doubt it though, there IS the inspiration for all your lovely love poems!

Love, Margherita
