Maybe I wasn't in love with you,
maybe I was in love with the idea of you.

The idea that you would love me the way I loved you.
The idea that you wouldn't be cruel to me like you are to them.
The idea that we would be together until our hearts no longer beat.
The idea that my soul could rest peacefully with yours.
The idea that you knew who I was.
The idea that you loved me.

- a poem about falling in love with a person that you didn't actually know & a person you fantasied them to be.
