what we had was not an illusion
you were there
i could close my eyes right now
reach over
and your arm would be right there
your arm and your voice
all i need to know
you are real
and so was this
for awhile
and then it became an illusion
something other than what i thought it was
i wake up and here i am
hard to believe
hard to believe that any word
out of your mouth
held truth
cause the illusion is all i know now
and your words are gone
