How do you mourn for someone who hasn’t died?
For someone that’s alive and well,
And worst of all – without you.
How do you let go of something
You swore to hold onto?
When you build someone up in your mind
It’s so hard to demolish what you’ve created.
I’ll pretend I don’t know who you are
The next time I see you around town.
I’ll pretend I’m not jealous
When I hear you’re with wife and child.
I’ll pretend I don’t hope you’re a wreck without me.
        And I’ll pretend I didn’t mourn.
