Real/Game

Story

No day passed me by

Without the haze in my head

And my whole body is confused

Of what’s real anymore

And there’s too much happening

But there’s too little to see

But it feels like a lot

But why can’t I pat my own shoulders

Because I did this

Because I lived

And if I could

I would pat your shoulders too

Because you made me realize

That I am still alive

Because your love thrusted dimensions

Reached me

When I was already numb

You picked me up

Warmed me up

And I’m still tearing up

As I was so cold

But you broke my ice

That even I didn’t know was there

And you made it real

Everything I thought was fake

Because I was stuck in a game

Of thoughts and strategies

I killed my own heart

Until you showed me yours

And it made mine beat again

Faster than it ever had

And it is still unreal

How you were by my side

All of this time

And how I only began to see you

Right now

And life began to feel real again
