Play Pretend Poem by Richelle Caliwan

Sometimes it's so hard just to look you in the eye
For you might see through me filled by you
At times being with you seemed to be very distant
Separated by the space I set to be safe from me

Was caught keeping your picture with me
Your eyes searched without a single word
Flipped through the pages I wrote for you
Found a mark, noticed I know who

Let's play pretend we know nothing
Communicating in such an uneasy way
Denying to ourselves the truth beyond lies
Mysterious emotions heating out deep inside

Guided, the clock's still silently ticking
Compatibility test still slowly completing
ONe soul dwelling in two bodies have part
Anticipated union made to be known from God's art...
