maybe it was just the idea of you;
but you were an epiphany.
you woke me up
and showed me everything I had settled living without.
like a mirror held to the sun,
I gleamed with a seemingly new light --
you never knew my darkness.
you taught lessons in high expectations
and you seemed to be well versed in my deepest hopes.
you're realization was my awakening;
but,
all along it was just the idea of you.
