A Moment In Time

As I sit here in the dark,  
the definition of life crosses my mind.  
What if it were imaginary?  
A memory of someone else's time,  
As I contemplate the idea  
That there would be no me without you  
Sends a void space to the corners of my eyes.  
Now the darkness that I didn't see  
Becomes a light in my mind.

I have believed many a time that I am imaginary. A figment of my dreams, that when I wake I will be gone.

That's because as you sleep your spirit leave your body and travel through the astral planes of your dreams to different realms. That is why you look back at your physical body as being imaginary.
