Let's Pretend We Are Together

Standing in front of mirror...I look at you
Silent...We stare at each other


I put my hand across
To remove the speck of shadow
From your eye...
Caress your warm moist skin...


You throw up your hands
Too far away we are ....You say
And turn to walk away
Away from my pleading eyes

Please...Can't we pretend just this once
that we are together...
