Illusion

What is it about you? That makes me want to be with you? That makes my every thought revolve around you? That makes my every breath, breathed for you? I’ve never met you in person The closest we’ve got to meeting each other Are words on paper or in this case? My computer screen… I’m sure you have Your moments of anger, Your moments of sadness… Which I never get to see Because you are only words on paper Or in this case my computer screen... Does this make my feelings real? Does this make my longing for you valid? Does this make me wanting more? Than just your words on paper Or in this case my computer screen, a momentary lapse of sanity? Are we real? Or is this just an ILLUSION?

Fine thoughts on illusion. In philosophy it is said that the universe itself is an illusion
