I Will Not Pretend

They say that love is in the wind
but darling I will not pretend
that I love you.
For my mind is on other times
when I thought a lovely women was mine
and I loved her.
I'll keep seeing you
but to her my heart is true
and I won't let her go
while I still love her.
Even though a mutual love
may never flow
I don't have the
strength to let her go.
I love her.
I would love to be your friend
but darling I will not pretend
that I love you.

No pretense but the possibility of love anyway. Beautiful!

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

And that...is honesty.
Good writing, James, thank you.

You sound like a gentleman!
I'd rather have a friend I can trust,
than a liar for a lover.

It's always best to be honest in matters of the heart. Then there are no misunderstandings later.

James, you always write with honesty
from your heart. That shows what a
caring and honest person you are.
