This is a rough draft...
Every word in this poem
Is going to be about you
Maybe
But we gonna pretend
Just like we do every other day
When like don’t turn to love
And love done turned to …
Every word in this poem
Is going to be about us
Maybe
But we gonna pretend
Just like we do every other day
When we say we in this
For ever
For now
And…
We lie
About us
About you
About me
As we pretend that we good
For now
For ever
Every word in this poem
Is going to be about
How good we are
At pretending
That life and love and us
Is good
When we both
Counting numbers
Circles
And squares
Guestimating
When
Who
Gonna walk away first
Reciting
As you
As I
Take that first step
Every word in this poem…
