linger

when i close my eyes i see you
you're everywhere surrounding me
in my dreams, in my mind, in every bit of my existence

when i close my eyes you're here
with your smile and that gleam in your eyes
the one that i love so much

and reality rushed in
the fact slapped me in the face
you're not real
you're gone

you're always perfect to me
because i never allowed you in my reality
you only exist in memory
that's why you're always perfect

my imagination kept you beautiful
kept you immortal
i kept hanging on to you
the only perfection i've ever wanted
