not just an illusion
the reasons why I know you care
you try to put in denial
but I know the truth
I have been there
I have seen it
experience it for myself
and if you want to put in a box
marked “never happened”
then by all means
be my guest
but as much as you think you can forget it
my memories are quite strong
my senses always well build
the things I hear
the smells I breathe it
how I remember your tender touch
it’s all in me
I can’t forget
and neither can you
no matter how much you tell yourself otherwise
I can’t be erased from your life
I am imprinted on your brain
I have left footprints on the edge of your moon
my light is not as strong as it was for you
in the beginning of it all
but the lighthouse still stands
it casts a shadow on the sea
even if you can no longer see it
that way I can
don’t make me a blur
on your skyline,
don’t cover me with fog
hoping I will disappear
because I am not just thin air...
well maybe not even that
because you know I am here
you just changed the glass on the vision
of the landscape
in which you see me
you put on your pink glasses
hoping you will forget my red gleam
but remember this darling,
one of these days, you are going to have to take them off

in contradiction to the title, but such a strong vibe for me...
