It’s so easy

It’s so easy to pretend while his lips press themselves against my forehead tenderly 

It’s so easy to pretend while I’m wrapped in his arms being held close to his beating heart 

It’s so easy to pretend while we sway to the music forgetting all the problems around us

It’s so easy to pretend while he whispers in my ear that everything will be okay 

It’s so easy to pretend while we lay under the covers with wondering hands in places they shouldn’t be  

In these moments, it’s so easy to pretend he loves me.
