Is it really there?

When I am feeling alone I close my eyes The world comes alive No-one can hurt me I am safe I can see the one I love And taste her kiss Although she isn’t real I can feel her skin And hear her breathing But she isn’t really there It is winter outside But in here, I smell the forest I can hear the birds above Although it is dark and cold I hear the children play And feel the sunshine on my skin But it isn’t really there I am surrounded by people Ones I hold dear I drink in the happiness and joy Anyone who has hurt me Doesn’t exist here I can feel the love of the important ones Although it isn’t really there Peace flows freely I feel at ease I am at the place I love If this was a movie I wouldn’t want it to stop I don’t normally cry at endings But this one is different Is it tears of happiness or of despair? I open my eyes to the world Sadly, it is really there
