To Pretend

Is it okay to pretend?
That I know what it's like to be kissed
To be hugged tightly, and warmly
To be reminded just how much I'm worth

Is it okay to pretend?
That I know what it's like to be loved
To be thought of from sunrise to sunset
To be the object of one's lingering stares

Is it okay to pretend?
That I know the meaning of happiness
To wake up next to warmth
To wake up next to a smile

Is it okay to pretend?
That I'm not a mess
That I'm not alone
That I'm not tragic

Is it okay to pretend?
