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