You are the golden ocean
You are the pink morning sun
You are an illusion

Oceans aren't golden
This sun isn't pink
You are not real

I made you up
I made you out of memories
and stories I've heard
I made you out of other
illusions of people
that I've never met
I think they are illusions though
because they leave before I can get to know them

But if you were real, *you would be my perfect reality.
