It Was Just Pretend

You left me here alone,

you left me here to cry.

Without a logical answer,

without a reason why.

~

It was just pretend,

the love you gave to me.

You left me with no reason to live,

as far as I could see.

~

A few years passed on,

and I still waited for you.

But wishing and hoping,

was all I could do.

~

For you weren’t coming back,

our love was just pretend.

I should have known it from the start,

so it wouldn’t hurt so much in the end.

~

You were my first love,

or so I thought.

But I had yet to find the real you,

and heartache you brought.

~

Now I’ve moved on,

and found someone new.

And wish nothing but,

the best for you.

~

I should be mad,

that it was all pretend.

But I’m not, it turned out okay,

in the end.
