Facts

I fell for an illusion, not a man on the net.
I thought it was real love, but it`s not where I`m at.
I realize now that it was a dream a fantasy it`s true.
I know it`s a fact that I wasn`t truly in love with you..
I loved your company in my lonesome frame of mind.
Someone to chat with and wile away the time.
Just sitting back thinking, time tells the truth, eventually.
I knew you just wouldn`t be the right one for me.
I know that I was equally wrong for you too.
Now, I`m truly sorry for all that I have put you through.
It`s easy to get caught up in a made-up dream.
Truth is sometimes you made me want to scream.
You were too opinionated, I was stubborn too.
If it were real life, we would never make it, it`s true.
I felt your pain, I knew you felt mine.
We carelessly let things.. get way out of line.
Pictures and voices, hearts that were shattered.
Holding on to a dream, was all that had mattered.
I know that at times, I irritated you to no end.
You didn`t need me for a lover, you needed me as a friend.
I wasn`t all you wanted, I knew I could never be.
For our true loves were right beside us, for all the world to see.
I had no intention of letting things progress that far.
I just couldn`t let go of you, because of who you are.
You are a wonderful person in your own special way.
We were too much alike, is what I would contend to say.
So, now you have the truth, and though it hurts to no end.
I couldn`t call it true love, but the love of a precious friend.
