I got a message today that you'll be going again
Guess I'll just wave goodbye like a normal friend

I'll pretend that your just like any other person to me
I'll pretend that your just that little boy you used to be
I'll pretend.

Put a call into town and I mentioned your name
he's getting into the ring but he's still the same

This is the way I know it really ought to go
I'll hide my feeling so they'll never even show
My mind approves and yet my heart still says no
Longing stays, but may your eternal happiness rivers always flow.

Just about glad the way the great spectacle said
Lovers that never were running through my head

I'll pretend that you never made a difference to me
I'll pretend that loving you was completely pain free
I'll pretend.

Though I never belonged to you I still want to weep
I'll just close my eyes and love you freely while I sleep

astonamous,

Somewhat. It's a song that I wrote a few months ago. I just thought I'd share a bit of my writing with you all, for what it's worth. I've avoided this forum for too long. I fear it!

jane_haze,
Awesome work!

billyb0y,

Well thank you. If I post anything else, it's gonna be some free verse stuff that is meant to be read/spoken instead of sung. The other ones are silly love songs in some respect or another.
