Mirage

I'll miss you when I go away,
but it's something I  must do.
It's the only way I'll ever know
if my love for you is true.
I've never felt like this before.
This all seems so unreal.
With you, I learned to just let go.
With you, I learned to feel.
Deep inside I know that things
aren't always what they seem;
I may see a river flow
when it's really just a stream.
Or when stranded in the desert
people think they see a lake,
and the way all of my dreams come true,
but not when I'm awake.
People see what they want to see
when they want something so bad.
You've become my own sweet dream
because you're something I can't have.
It's said, "careful what you wish for,
sometimes they comes true,"
But if they do, then in the end
I'll be standing here with you.
