Real

We had a connection but still we kept our distance;
We both knew it would end.
The way we'd kiss & joke around – You weren't just a lover;
You were my friend.

You made me feel something I hadn't felt in a while;
With every touch & caress I'd tense up.. but with a smile.

I was comfortable with you but had butterflies simultaneously;
Always wanting to better yourself, enlightened & encouraged me.

Now we're oceans apart while I'm trying to fulfill my dreams;
Yet obscure in my fantasies I think it's your face I see.

And because of the situation I'm unsure of how I feel.
Whatever it was: love, lust, infatuation;
It was real.
