Real

we saw what we wanted in each other.

i thought you were more than what you are

and you thought the same of me.

we filled each other in with dreams --

i buried every reason to doubt you.

it was fun to pretend, and we ached

for a fantasy.

seeing the edges of you now,

your pride and your shame, showed me that

life with you was just an escape

and as unreal as we thought.
