Pretend

I lie awake at night,
Pretending that you're here.
I pretend I can hear you voice,
Gently whispering my name.
I pretend that I'm in your arms,
Feeling warm, and safe, and loved.
I pretend,
That's all I can do.
Because it's the only way you're with me.
For now.
So, I'll keep pretending,
Keep whispering your name
Until you return to me.
That'll be the end of this game.
