For Devon who inspired me to write this
I once meet a boy
who had hair the color of snow
who was always there smiling and weeping
Lets be happy he said and I agreed
we drank milkshakes and painted our nails
Let's be rockers and I shook my head
we played guitar hero and screamed out loud
life was perfect or so it seemed
Let's be lovers and I sang along
we had midnight dinners and watched sappy movies
but the pretending was boring and it needed something new
Let us hate each other and I agreed
we shouted and fought
Yelling words of disgust
the game wasn't fun anymore
Let's pretend we never knew each other and I cried
and we did and the game seemed sad without you
Let's pretend I'm dead you said and I didn't say no
I rember I meet a boy with hair the color of the snow
and playing games of happiness and rockers
I remember a game of love and sadness
I like it better when we weren't pretending
