He pretends not to love her
but every time he looks in the mirror
he sees everything he could've had with her
He pretends not to want her
but every time she says 'hi'
he whispers 'i miss you'
at his phone
but sends 'hey'
He pretends not to need her but hes slowly realizing the sweetness she brought to the air was the only thing he was ever willing to live for
He pretends not to remember her
but when he's crying in the shower,
his tears tell him otherwise
He pretends not to dream of her but when he wakes from night terrors and a sweaty brow, he realizes it's her absence haunting him
He pretends not to notice the flowers in his driveway that she planted
three years ago for his mother
and fights the urge to rip them from the ground
He pretends to shut her out but he knows he can never let her go without losing himself in the process
