It's all just pretend.
A game of make believe.
You know it.
I know it.
The imagination is an immaculate playground.
There are no stakes in this game.
And that's why we play.
No opportunity for injury.
No one gets hurt here.
The promises are never real.
So there's no place for pain.
And no chance of disappointment.
It's fun. Wildly fun.
In the moment.
It's safe.
There may be no place more secure.
It's perfect.
Until we both go home.
Alone.
