Let's Pretend

Let's just pretend for a second
That we are not who we are
Let's pretend for a moment
That we could someday be

That we aren't doomed
And a future could exist
Where we'd be happy
And free

Let's just pause for a minute
And take in everything that
we've been taking for granted
alone among these dreams

That we hold so tight
In fingers that get weaker
by the second
the moment is gone

When I close my eyes
I see you
I miss the way you smile
when I say
I like your face
