PLEASE, LET'S STOP PRETENDING!

When we were novices,
teens, and game players
we pretended a lot
because we were insecure,
wanting but afraid to
say yes and dare;
maybe that was okay back then,
BUT this is now. We have
had the taste of fulfilled desires;
worked through the ups
and downs....yet there
is the deeper desire for
the fruit we pretend we
don't want; yet the desire
only leaves for a moment.
PLEASE!
Let's stop pretending
(Yes, I'm guilty too).
Meet me at the Kissing
Place and we'll both stop pretending.
OKAY?
