Unreal

In his presence, my joy finds its widest smile,

Illuminating moments, free from life’s trial.

In his eyes, I’m the sole apple of his affection,

A cherished connection, beyond mere reflection.

My heart, like a stallion, races in its glee,

Announcing loudly, it’s him I now see.

But like a sudden shift, unforeseen and untold,

I find myself with ramen, the warmth turning cold.

Within dreams, I dared to confess my heart’s plea,

Yet he replied with friendship, not love’s decree.

The apple once vibrant now wears a somber shade,

As the world unravels, a bond starts to fade.

Tears flowed like rivers, a torrential stream,

Lost within a heartache, a shattered dream.

Then a savior emerged, my heart to mend,

“Will you marry me?” spilled from lips, love to send.

“Okay,” he echoed, and darkness withdrew,

From dull to vibrant, a vivid life anew.

Dancing through starlight, laughter in the air,

A dream so surreal, a reality rare.

Echoes of laughter, applause loud and clear,

A joyous symphony, enchanting to hear.

A playful pinch, a voice like a horse’s neigh,

Startling senses awake from dreams that sway.

Then a gentle slap, a wake-up call to find,

Co-workers grinning, their laughter combined.

“What?” I mumble, my head turning to see,

Nods and smiles greet my sleepy decree.
