I fell in love with you,
Or at least I thought it was you.
Maybe what it was,
Was an image I had of you.
I never thought that you could deceit me,
Lie to me,
And cheat me.
I found out very differently,
You turn out to be,
all the things I thought you couldn't be.
Over time,
The veil was lifted.
I saw the reality of what you could be.
Did it change my heart,
No, I still live in that fantasy.
I know in my head,
How you really are.
I know my love is not based in reality.
Yet there is something about you,
That I can not shake free from.
