12. PRETEND

let's just pretend
that you're gonna love me until the end.
even though i know
your feelings for me are already dead.

i always thought that you're the one—
but it seems like someone already won.

and here's me, feeling lonely.
but i'm fine, as long as you're happy.
so i'm gonna pretend that i am too
because i love you.
