I'll Make Believe I Love You

One more time I think I’ll make believe I love you,
One more time I’ll settle in among these mottled days.
I have a friend who doesn’t like her husband
and in this day and age she stays.
I did ask why, I couldn’t help it.
That’s it, she said. This day, this age --
I’m too old to plant a new beginning.
Not me, though. I’m not here to stay
I’m off within a day or so.
Though I'll rest my head against your shoulder one more time before I go.
