The Idea of You

Melinda J.
I am in love

With the idea of you

The person you pretended

The person I thought was true

But the person you are

Is not different from him

I love the one you presented

Not the one you are within

I daydream of the other man

The one I hold so dear

I want him to hold me close

And to whisper in my ear

But that is not who you are

You are only full of deceit

You wear the mask of the one I love

Only to conquer and defeat

I am trying hard to remember

That the one I want is not real

But it was not just my imagination

He is there with you, concealed

You could be the one I love

You could have everything I have to give

But you choose to be this other man

And now I know I must live

With the regret of knowing it will never be

And that my love is laying wait

For someone else to coax him from you

To save him from this state
