Illusion

Like a lightning in the sky,
You came into my mind.
With a stunning look,
And a very sweet smile.

We knew each other's name,
And felt the warmth of your hand.
As we danced under the moonlight,
My heart was beating fast. 

Trusting you I hesitated not,
To tell you the dark side of my life.
Pretending to live a happy life,
Hiding the pain in my heart.

A pledge of love you offered me,
Be at my side you'll always be.
A promise I hope to last,
'Till death  do us part.

In just a blink of my eyes, 
You' re gone without saying goodbye.
Back to my senses I realize,
You're just an illusion in my mind.
