Pretend

Pretend- Abby Kesington


Pretend you are far from Houston
Nice weather under the nightsky
Lights defying Newton
Music serenading the blue sky

I think that’s Sheeran “thinking out loud”
As I lay my head on his beating heart
Oops! I hope I am not so loud
As I struggled to move apart

Then came Sade with “by your side”
And I swoon into his arms
Following his steps as guide
I placed my hands on his forearms

Tonight, the stars align
to bring close two aching souls
As all under heaven fall in line
to fill  gaping holes.

Then the music comes to an end
And I realize it was just pretend.
