Illusion 1 (Love and Uncertainty)

As I stand on this mountain, I'm hoping you can hear me,

They say it's normal for people to change, but yours scared me.

I feel like it's been hundred years since I've known you,

That day we met at the showroom.

The best mistake of my life, I cannot deny,

I looked into your eyes and all I saw were mine.

We started going out together and planning trips,

Didn't really take us a while and then you tripped.

Two weeks later you proposed and everything seemed to be in place,

But now, why can't you look me in the face?

Were the feelings shared all a fake?

Distorting, I seem not to be fully awake.

Hold up! Where am I?

No! I don't want to accept that this is all

in my minds eye.
