Illusions.

Everything seems so perfect
When I'm with you
Talking to you
Laughing with you
Only when we're apart
Do the tears fall
The doubt begins
The pain sets in
As I reflect
On what we are
Together
Who I am
Alone
Am I better without you
But you're not really mine
This dream I'm living in
This safe place
This shelter
Does not exist
I need to step out
Into the storm
Face the thunder
Let you go
Until I realize
The storm
Is only rain
