You asked me to pretend to be your girlfriend. I said yes.

You asked me to pretend I'm head over heels in love with you. I did.

But, I truly fell. Deep. Hard. Unknowingly. I'm sorry I failed.

I pretended to be happy for you. For both of you. I tried .

I pretended I am fine. I smiled.

I've been faking happiness for what seems like forever.

I have mastered the art of smiling genuinely through my eyes and my lips even though my heart is breaking.

I'm used to feeling unloved, alone and unwanted. I'm used to being left behind. I'm used with this fucked up life but then I'm tired.

I'm tired yet I can't stop.

I can’t stop pretending cause this is the only thing I can do.

I can't stop pretending cause I want you to be happy and be happy for you.

I can't stop pretending cause it's the only thing that keeps me close to you.

I can't stop pretending cause it's my only way to say 'I love you.'

I’ll only stop  when you tell me to, when you finally say ‘I love you too’ so until then I will be the greatest pretender just for you.
