Beautiful Illusion - Dedicated to a Stranger

It was all an illusion, of course
How could she think it could be something else,
She still as her friends have pointed out, naive,
So naive she still believes in people.

Her mind wondered for many moments
moments of excitement and anticipation
her heart beats one hundred and ninety beats per minute
it is beating just as hard if not harder than when she runs.

It was all an sweet illusion
it was an instant moment of great happiness
it was an unbelievable happening after one year and a half
he was an illusion in body, mind but his soul betrayed him.

What was she thinking that this could happened to her
it was too good to be true but even then she dismissed the thought
it brought a smile to her face even when she knew
but naively she let her mind and her heart wander freely.

He is sweet, tall, romantic, and has a great smile
he has sleepy eyes, beautiful shiny brown eyes that smile
when he laughs his eyes laugh too
there is no worry in his being, only the thought of his family across miles of land.

It was all a sweet illusion
it was an instant moment of great happiness
their first glance, their first smile, the way he flirted
she believe him, she believed and trusted him instantly...just like her.

It was a beautiful illusion, obviously not for her
it all had been in her mind or had it been?
her heart leaped when he first hugged her, so naturally and warmth
she felt so comfortable in his arms, so welcome by him.

She opened her heart as always, wide open!
the air flew thru each space in that open door
she felt a skip in her gate, in her heart, in her soul
she did not sleep after their first meeting, it was too great to believe.

He held her hands so softly and delicately before he departed, his hands so soft
he kissed her on the cheek so softly and warm
she smelled him and she wanted to capture his scent forever
she wanted to hold his body against her infinitely.

He was a beautiful illusion
how silly and naively of her to believe this was true
how could she at her age?! She feels now stupid and conned
he was an illusion in body and mind, but his soul betrayed him.

His soul betrayed her and stabbed her deeply
she believed him instantly, her own fatal mistake.....to trust herself so openly
she opened the gates of her mind to this possibility
the thoughts came flooding thru, just to drown her.

She still give him the benefit of the doubt
because soon he would go away to be with his family
perhaps he does not want his feelings to get attached, perhaps she is wrong,
however, it might be a little late for her to erase his image engrave in her heart.

It was a great and beautiful illusion of one night.
It was indeed to good to be truth.
