Illusions



We stood there
Our eyes shining
glazing over the world
It was you and me
Me and you
against the world
Your lips tasted like coco
Mine tasted like salt
or so you said
But you liked it

Low is life
But we were high on life
And the drugs
But it was okay
We sat there in a synchronized passion
Your head in my lap
My heart clapping

I told you about the world
About the pain
The mystique
The monsters and the angels
The beautiful curves of the fjords in Norway
The black sand on the cold beaches in Iceland
I told you all of it

It was you and me baby
We were perfect
But we both knew that when I kissed you
It was the first and last kiss

I won't say it was an illusion
But I can't say anymore if you were there or not
If you looked at me and smiled in the sunset in pure happiness
I might just long for it
Or it was true, and the world isn't as crazy as  I thought
Or I might be the crazy....
