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, Margherita |

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. :-----------xoxoxo---------) |

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