Let's pretend we loved each other, let's pretend we believed we could Let's pretend we blindly believe in destiny, in written destinies, and be at peace with our own impossibility, let's blame the stars. Let's pretend that on rainy nights we remember each other. I'll pretend to believe that my image of that night under the umbrella has taken over your thoughts. And you'll pretend to think that I'm looking for you in some rain poem. Let's pretend that you understood my silence in the room And that you didn't notice the pain or the tears I tried to hide as I sipped yesterday's leftover wine And that my melancholy didn't leave you indifferent. And I'll pretend that your coldness didn't numb me... Let's pretend that you loved me deeply, Let's pretend that you realised that you "missed me" when you returned alone to the streets where when you returned alone to the streets where you once held my hand. Whenever I fear my own death, I'll pretend to believe that you have chosen to be my god,
