Shes no longer confused, or unsure.
she knows the truth yet would rather be lost in denial.
ignorance is bliss let the puppets play
she can keep him in her dreams, its the closest thing to reality
and with that she is more comfortable than if she actually had him in her arms.
their ongoing deception can continue forever as far as shes concerned.
she still has his love, trust and protection either way.
so she will turn the corner tomorrow
and greet her friends with a smiling face
and when one of them smiles back and asks if she has yet decided
she can easily laugh it off and call it mixed emotions.
a confusion for true friendship mingled with lust.
its not love.
that she promises its not, and its a promise she can keep.
that is the bonus of her alternate reality.
she can pretend not to like him meaning she convinces herself and everyone else it is true
while narrowly avoiding the danger
of falling in love.
