Pretending

Do you ever sit alone pretending your favorite person is sitting next to you?
Because you know you can't do it in real life no matter how hard you wish
Because you need to remind yourself what you have to let go,
What you have to live with, and which is which
Do you ever sit alone pretending one's still talking to you like you are one's favorite person?
Because you have successfully erased catastrophe
As if it never happened, never became part of the story
Do you ever sit alone pretending you are the happiest creature on earth?
