Pretend

I looked all around for you

Followed the light

If you could’ve seen me, damn

You would’ve thought I was a joke

My feet pounded until I fell to the ground

Where were you?

I heaved and weaved

Through the leaves, but see

You weren’t there

I could feel the pocket of air

That you filled up

I was fully aware

Eyes shifting, I’m blinded by the misfortune

Where’d you go, I need you now more than ever

Your guidance

In this dark hour it seems like we all need you

But you aren’t here

You passed with the happiness

It seems like ages since I kissed your cheek

For the last time

I know you’re not here

And yet I can’t help but check

I know where you are

But sometimes it’s easier to pretend
