For Those That Can't Find True Love by Illneas

Dear stranger Let's pretend that we have known each other since we were kids Let's pretend that this is the truth Let's pretend that each scar on my body has a story including you Let's fill the decades in-between with lies and false memories Let's pretend that the universe isn't chaotic And every particle that has touched me may have touched you too Let's pretend that this is the truth Maybe we bumped shoulders on a crosswalk three years ago Maybe you felt my warmth on a doorknob last week Maybe we once visited the same dream Let's pretend that my sadness isn't visible in the way I move Let's pretend that you aren't scared to show your emotions Let's pretend we aren't afraid just alone Let's pretend we aren't cold just untouched Let's pretend that this isn't a delusion just a new perspective Let's pretend that we have known each other since we were kids Let's pretend that this is the truth When you are gone, I won't feel sad, just empty Dear stranger, I'm unhappy And If I could find happiness in poetry I would use your name here Let's pretend I just did
