Reality

I’ve never felt this way before Never been treated in such a manner Something so new to me, it’s unnerving Fear inches everywhere in my body What if we all thought wrong? What if the perfect daydream I thought I was in, Was not my reality? I’ve never thought I could come near To such a fate like this. Being loved And being treated like I actually exist. I want to drown in this feeling, Of pure bliss, Perfect happiness. I’m scared to feel it until I reach the bottom, My feet scratching the surface of confrontation And what I dread. How do we go from here? How do I come back up? What if I float back up to a reality Where everything was in my head? I don’t want to go back. What if I float to a reality Where you and I are together. Until we aren’t? Until the water flushed away The covers I put over myself, Exposing Me. Would you still like me then? Boringness and annoyingness and flaws and all? Or would your eyes drift elsewhere, To someone smarter, prettier, chattier? I don’t know what reality has In hold for me. But I just want to know, Would you still like me, Flaws and all? Give me a hint of reality.

Affirming fear may make it real, flow like the breeze, with nonchalant ease
