Can I Pretend?

So here it goes

 

When I told you that I loved you,

I meant it... and maybe I still do?

I search for you in every boy I see

And I came to an understanding of what your type could be

Light eyes with a constant smile and a positive air

The kind of guy that could hug with no care

The kind of guy you could talk to with ease

And whose words are warm and soft like breeze

And that’s the trick

The booby-trap on which you trip

 

Curse you and that type of yours

That blinded me for years

 

Curse myself and my heart for falling too easy

I should’ve gave up and not be so greedy

Maybe then I would’ve seen the imperfection of your kind

And change the course of my mind

 

I wish that I could thank you

But it means a conversation and... that takes two

 

Oh, don’t worry, I know you’re too busy to spend your time on me

A hopeless girl like me can’t talk with you, and I agree

 

Honestly, I get it

And I’m glad we split

‘Cause you and me... we don’t fit

 

Although I saw a lot of things we share the same

But maybe it was only in my eyes... ‘cause I had a flame

You were sparkless when all I wanted was to burn

You shut my brain and I thought with that I’d learn

 

It’s not your fault, it’s all on me

I’m to blame for keeping my dreamless fantasy

You did nothing wrong

I just shouldn’t’ve kept pushing aimlesslly this long

 

I guess, maybe I scared you with being too honest

Maybe I’m the reason that you broke your promise

 

I’m sorry I tried to hold ‘nd tie you up

I’m sorry I followed you when you wanted to break up

 

So, can I let go of you now?

Because s-o-m-e-h-o-w

You’re still caught up in my heart

And I keep wishing my memories could restart

So that I can pretend

That it never started, that it began with an end

 

So, can I forget the numbers of your phone?

Can I, please, forget that time we spent alone?

I wish I could forget your name

I wish I could forget the person I became

I wish you and I... were never friends

Because,

why let it start, when you know it ends?

 

I understand that we’ve lost... whatever it was that we once had

We were, as it goes, ‘slowly but surely’, falling apart

 

So here it goes
