I'd rather not--
I'd prefer to--
wet my lips and watch
you watch me.
I might turn to you and
say, "pretend this isn't happening."

"Listen to me. All of writing is a huge lake. There are great rivers that feed the lake, like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. And there are mere trickles, like Jean Rhys. All that matters is feeding the lake. I don't matter. The lake matters. You must keep feeding the lake." -Jean Rhys

Love the last couple of lines here. Consider "pretend this didn't happen"? I say this because it sounds better to me rhythmically but also because the gerund often dulls the impact of the verb. (I know I'm not your teacher anymore!)
