Each moment gets longer
As you drift further and further into a memory
Someone I never came to experience fully
At least not the side I wished to see
And so that figure has now been eradicated
Relinquished into the caverns
Of things I only ponder in dreams
To be forgotten when morning arrives with a foggy head
Knowing Im longing but not knowing what for
It's like a novel constantly being edited
Rewriting every single flaw
Each event is condensed
Into one dramatic scene
With a moral placed at the end
Glaringly obvious yet hard to action
Its just advice granted but never taken
Reality is balanced
And I can't bare to live in that world
Where everything can be experienced at face value
Where the sight of you is no longer of misery
But of complacency
And losing the comfort of a fantasy
Looms with a promise of normalcy
There maybe is truly nothing special to be said about you
And by now I might agree that's true
Warm feeling of blush spreads across me
When I realise I have created a different you
You're not real
But a thing with flesh appears in front of me
As I stand lifelessly
Catching my breath
