Make-believe

You never call me beautyful

or ask me to stay

and sometimes say you‘ll leave me,

don‘t love me that way.

But everytime I see you

or feel your gentle touch

my love for you grows stronger,

now I love you too much.

My hopes and dreams get bigger

every single night

I know that you don‘t love me,

but still believe you might.

You‘re everything I wish for

the sunshine in my life,

and sometimes I imagine

how it feels to be your wife.

But in between those moments

the truth is clear as day

I fear I won‘t survive the pain,

the day you‘ll walk away.

I close my eyes to stop the tears

and take your hand in mine,

cherish all the time I get

pretending life is fine.
