Pretend

Let’s pretend for just one moment That I’m something that you care about Someone that you think should stay Locked up safe inside your thoughts *melodic humming* Please, don’t throw me away I know it’s just pretend Would I be safe there in your thoughts Or just one more worry to cross? Would I be comfortable there Taking up so much space Or would you want me to leave without a trace? Would the dream be Just another me Or something different? *melodic humming* Please, don’t throw me away I know it’s just pretend But as the night fades away Blurring thoughts and dreams I hope you'll find a way To remember what it means Let’s imagine for a moment That thinking of me brings peace Perhaps not overwhelming love But a mindful presence, at least *melodic humming* What is the ideal me In this world of make-believe?
