Lets play pretend

The moon shines with ambiance tonight
Creating a dark misty hue in the sky
I close my eyes and think back
I think of the things I wish I could say
or simply, dare myself to do

The shock that overwhelms me
reminds me that you're not mine
But tonight, just this once,
I wanna play a game

Lets play pretend

Lets play pretend ... ...
You be Romeo, I'll be Juliet
For just a while,
let me know the warmth of your embrace
The taste of your forbidden lips and the hidden pleasures your body possesses

Lets play pretend ... ...
Look at me like you've never looked at her,
as though your entire world depends on my very existence
Touch me like you'll never touch anyone else,
like you've never dared touch her

Lets play pretend ... ...
Forget the reality that sets us apart
Break the rules and countless norms
There is no right or wrong in our realm
Let me touch you and break you free
from your restrictive world

Lets play pretend ... ...
Say the sky is the sea and the sea the mass above the land
Birds will swim and fishes will fly
You and I will drown in the clouds below
And gravity will no longer hold us captive

Lets play pretend ... ...
Refuse to let the world limit our yearnings
We only live once
so lets explore this thing between us
Lets dance naked in the moon
lets part these oceans and defy nature
lets drain each other like starved vampires

Lets play pretend ... ...
Say you love me back when I declare
my undying love for you
Say we'll have a happy ending
even if its just to humor me
Say its real and not a silly game
we've indulged ourselves in
Say you'll be mine
and will never again make me cry

Lets play pretend
No, lets not pretend ... ...
