i love who you pretend to be

i like the person
you are pretending to be.
so sweet,
so kind, so gentle.
honest and loyal
to a fault.
i've fallen
in love with this image,
the false self
you present to the world.
honed
from childhood until today.
please don't ever
change.
don't take your mask off.
it's this fake you,
that i've fallen in love with,
the one i want to stay.
