“Imaginary”


I see the one I love.
She’s there.
She’s pretty as a dove.
She cares.
I stare at her with feelings flowing in my heart.
I am so happy.
I need her to truly care.
But there’s something in my mind.  Reality starts.
It’s a fantasy.
She seems to be standing there.
But with a closer look...
Nobody is there.
Nothing but the cold breeze travelling upon me.
The truth is what it took.
She was never there.
Just a mind mirage.  She was imaginary.

My mind isn’t on track.
I wish she was here.
I always pray for my dreams to become true.
I always fantasize.
Memories flow within my thoughts everyday.
I cannot go on without her.
I wish that time will rewind.
Her precense is my true lack.
I dream that she’s near.
My imagination is lost in the blue.
It’s hard to realize.
I can never be with her in any way.
But she needs to know I need her.
SHe will never leave my mind.

I can see her in my mind.
But in life, she’s hard to find.
I need her.
Nothing is worth anything without her by my side.
I haven’t seen her in person for years.
But the memories are there to stay.
I always remember her...
I love her...
But without her, I have no self confidence or pride.
The lonliness has brought by many tears.
I wish I could start again today.
I can never forget her.

Shallow images portray my head.
She is nailed to my every thoughts.
But in reality, she is so far away.
And I pray to be with her.
I will thrive forth to meet my destiny.
I must succeed at all costs.
I just want her by my side.
I want to hold her...
But every night, I’m awake in bed.
I can feel her presence in my thoughts.
But the truth in life is that she’s so far away.
I can never be with her.
And I have to face reality.
All of my chances are lost.
She is so far from my side.  
I cannot have her...

Sometimes I can see her, even so far away.
I can see her, but she cannot see me.
Even though I picture her, she will fade away.
She will always be imaginary.
