I want to lie to you
I want to pretend you don’t matter to me anymore
I want everyone to stop looking at me every time your name is mentioned or you walk into the
room
I want to lie to everyone…tell them I don’t love you anymore
I want the world to stop and I want to pretend I’m happy for you when you mention “her”
I want to be able to lie and act as if it doesn’t hurt me to even think of you being with someone
else
I want everyone to stop being afraid to bring your name up around me…afraid they’ll make me
cry
I want to stop crying
I want to stop being angry
I want to stop loving you
I want to act like your happiness is the most important thing to me…even if it means being with
someone else
But it’s not
I can’t pretend
I can’t lie to you
I can’t lie to myself
I can’t stop crying
I can’t stop hurting
I can’t stop being angry
I can’t stop loving you
