Dear
Lover,
you and I,
let us not play
pretend, baby
that’s a children’s game
of life, in love,
romantic ways
we’ll play pretend
another day
for now, let’s be
you and me
man and woman
those human things
ignore the life
outside this nook
it’s too harsh
so please don’t look
from tree fairies
we’ve been shook
so we are real
inside our book
