Let’s Pretend
Date: June 24,2015

Oh, let me pretend, my love
That I have found solace in your arms
Let me swim in the beauty behind
The dark mystery of your eyes
Be the clay, my sweet
Let me shape you into that dream
That perfect summer dream
Where you are mine, and mine alone
Let me pretend without disruption
Clinging for a lifetime
To the simple rhythm of your sighs
Pretend that you are mine, my sweet
Dance with me beneath moonlit skies
In perfect harmony with your song
Let me pretend that I am the flame
That impassioned, raging flame
That burns eternal in your soul
Let me deceive you, dear
Accept me…consume me as the fire
That warms your home forever
Let me be the bread that sustains you
The river that sates your thirst
Drink from the cup of my yearning, dear
Fall intoxicated into my white hot dreams
Unite with my soul so that we can awaken
As the epitome of your desires
Let me pretend, my love
Pretend that the whispers are all true
And you pretend, babe
Pretend…that you love me too
