We Pretend --- South African Quilt
Once upon an evening we decided
to let our love to be undivided;
Promised we'd share our all burden with smile,
surely issues we both will reconcile ;
Thought our hearts would beat only in one rhythm
won't allow tears, nothing will be hidden
between us; That was our wishful thinking
at the end of the day we'll be winning;
Good things never continue for too long;
Yet, we presume our bad days won't extend
continued to dishonour our caring.
But, why our dreams broke, failed to get along;
Have you not thought why always we pretend
to be contented though we're uncaring?
