Mirage

I couldn't keep up pretenses...
I'm not who you thought I was
or hoped I'd be...

In that moment...
you saw, what you wished to see...
Your greatest desires fulfilled.
Only an illusion that was...

But I'm glad it was one that gave you hope,
solace, when you needed it the most... 
Your own creation,
a handiwork as yet unsurpassed..
You brought it to life... You owned it..
and today, you saw... how it was all a dream... 

Perhaps you reached an oasis,
it's reality far more assuring
than the distant hope I gave you...
that momentary bliss was all I had,
and I gave it up to you...

You defined me...
Gave me a name.. a form in your mind...
and I was real... In that moment...
In your eyes.
