his smile was addictive
his words were soothing
his laughter; repetitive
how I knew him was all but could be loathed
he was all I thought
until I opened my eyes
and he was not
his humor was dry
his time varied
he constantly made me cry
I can't believe I ever considered we'd be married
I trusted an illusion with my heart
so I shouldn't have been surprised when it never came back
despite the person he truly is
the person I imagine him to be never had anything to lack
