Let me go on pretending
let me pretend that when
this night ends I will
still be in your arms.

I know I will never
arouse your heart
the way I arouse
your body

I know I wont be the one
but having you like this
is better than not having
you at all

And I can pretend
Oh yes I can pretend
with your arms tight
around me, I can pretend
your heart beats with love
not just desire

So let me pretend
yes let me pretend
its better than a cold
and empty bed, even if I
do wake up alone

Let me pretend
I want to pretend
Its better than being
without you

Let me pretend
Just let me pretend

Some part of love..is better than none?
yes, a sad poem...well executed...

some part of warm, even if only in our mind, is better than cold...

A woman can't ever forget the "heart aspect" ... I fear many can relate to your very well written melancholic poem.

Love,

Dear Paula.
You remember meeeeeeeeeeeee.
I am Jaime reincarnated as Daddy Goose38,
And you will bear the title of being my first of the first who helped me get started on pip ten years ago. I don’t know what would have happened to me had you not been there to help me learn the ropes on Pip.
Now my Pip email finally works normally.
Did you learn of the death of our friend Midnitesun last January?
Anyway … don’t really have much to say right now except I just came tumbling out of the computer into your arms. And fantasy is the stuff out of which we make reality.

Paula, fact is that pretending isn't all that bad....as long as you realize it. I agree with your sentiments.
