Let's Pretend

Let's just pretend this is easy that we can fold the past into something small enough to keep in our pockets without it cutting through the seams

Let's just pretend your name doesn't echo differently now like a song I used to love but can't quite sing along to anymore

We'll sit across from each other hands behaving eyes careful laughing at the same old jokes like they don't carry ghosts

I'll learn the shape of silence when you talk about someone new nod in all the right places pretend my chest isn't tightening like a fist

Let's just pretend we didn't memorize each other every habit every scar every soft place we once called home

Because friendship is supposed to be simple, right No late-night confessions bleeding into morning no gravity to pull us close

Just two people who used to be something else

And maybe, if we try hard enough if we rehearse the lines and keep our distance measured we can make it look real

this version of us that doesn't ache that doesn't remember that doesn't want

So go ahead smile like nothing's missing I'll do the same

We'll call it friendship We'll call it healing We'll call it anything but what it really is
