lets pretend

a man still in love with the one he lost

I know you loved me

a long time ago

but I know its him

tonight you hold

 

when you close your eyes

let it be me that you see

pretend your still in love

with me

 

and when you kiss

and hold him tight

pretend its me your with tonight

 

my heart wont let you go

I still pretend that you

love me so

 

when I go to bed

with her tonight I will

pretend its you im holding tight

 

I still love you

I want you to know

my heart just wont let go

 

so tonight

it will be you I see

when shes making love

to me...

Sometimes life is not fair, is it? We cannot hold the things we love, and yet we still remain dreaming of those things.
Some people are not meant to be with us. It's difficult to understand and believe that they are just like the wind that passes by...

This is sad but could be true. Thanks for the share.

Wow... Every line is so good that I can't even pick a favorite.

Its such an honest poem. Even though we may appear to move on with someone else, sometimes our heart still holds on to that lost love.

So we pretend.

Really great piece.

Wow again Ron didn't think they were men in the world felt like this. Kinda cool to know someone else sees in the same light. This was profound and sad at that. Dang I been there that 1st love was one. Love can make a man see stupid and hurt sets him straight. This was awesome song poem and all:)

I feel a little bad for the woman you're holding tonight, Ron. Hope the one you really loved came back to you soon. A very heart-felt poem. Good job!

You could do what the poets of old used to do and write a poem on the same subject in really grandiose terms! You could really go to town .... you speak for millions!

[wordman]
