Pretending It's Not Real

A shooting star flew by And you quickly came to mind You're exactly what I wanted You're what my thoughts would find Our friendship flashed before me And a smile I found on my face I loved each and every moment Of your sweet enchanting grace I was memorized so much By the words that you would speak I couldn't seem to help That I'd always grow so weak At first I liked our friendship How we could trust each other How our friendship grew so strong With one another I'm not sure when it started But i began to fall for you I couldn't stop my feelings There was nothing I could do But soon my feelings grew stronger And you're all I thought about My heart was beating only for you And in that there was no doubt I tried to get over it Knowing it would never be Knowing I was just playing with my feelings Thinking you would fall for me I didn't tell anyone Not even my best friends Didn't want to risk our friendship Didn't want it to end I couldn't control it I yearned for you so much Didn't want anything else Except your gentle touch I kept my mouth shut Trying to deny it to myself Pretending I didn't have those feelings Lying to myself This love is starting to hurt Pretending it's not real Trying to put it in the past Refusing to reveal  SarahLaney Long
