I feel lips that aren’t there kissing me tenderly. Hands that don’t exist touching me gently. A body that hasn’t transformed, lying under me … I see a figure that is a shadow in my mind, staring back at me. Thoughts filling my head daily of a love that isn’t real, a manifestation of a deep yearn within. Coming to life in my dreams and only in my dreams does it remain. I see a life that isn’t mine I’ve lived..

Mirage..
I feel lips that aren’t there kissing me tenderly. Hands that don’t exist touching me gently. A body that hasn’t transformed, lying under me … I see a figure that is a shadow in my mind, staring back at me. Thoughts filling my head daily of a love that isn’t real, a manifestation of a deep yearn within. Coming to life in my dreams and only in my dreams does it remain. I see a life that isn’t mine I’ve lived..
