You were the mirage
I believed
Existed in the middle
Of my life’s desert.

The oasis so tempting
With its green and blue
Where sandy brown
Was all the eye could see.

The hope of something
Different from whatever else
I had come across,
Till you.

Turns out I wasn’t
The only person hallucinating.
It so happens
It wasn’t just me dreaming.

I was the mirage
You believed
Existed in the middle
Of your life’s wilderness.
