Clever one

I haven't yet figured it out

Nor have I honestly tried

Never took the time

to discover who you truly were

and yet

we loved?

or

atleast we pretended 

which would be fair

For after all we were children

and children do pretend

and yet an inkling of truth

behind those starlit eyes

inspires uncertainty and doubt

even now after all those years

how does one pretend

to love, how does one

in an age of innocence 

know how to fake such an emotion?

is that not something learned over time

when hearts have frozen over from

hurt and regret? when walls

are built to protect whats left?

ah! I have discovered you after all

my day late friend!
