He adores me.
All my life, I've been the adoree.
It's not so bad to be the adorned.

I can be the actress,I can pretend.
I will never hurt him the way I've been hurt.
It's not so bad to play the role of being in love.

Some may call it settling.
Some would say I've given up.
It's not so bad to settle for the one who lifts you onto a pedestal.

No one will ever know.
Least of all the one I've adored.
It's not so bad trying to forget him.

I can do this.
I can fool the world.
It's not so bad accepting love from where it comes.

Is it?

I would answer no...
But then, I would lie awake tonight knowing that I wasn't honest.

A person could ask, "Is it okay to pretend, just to keep from being alone?"
In the end, maybe you invite pain into your heart, because you realize that you missed other opportunities.  And then, you've cheated this other person their chance of REALLY being loved.

But hey...that's just how I feel...

I do understand your write, and it makes me think...
Keep up the great work.

Only we know what we can live with and without.  Choices, choices...  If it works for you, then that's a good thing.
