The Secret Garden Wasn't Enough

You were my world before I saw the world,

It was beautiful,

It was everyone's dream.

I woke up,

I saw the real world,

I explored,

I was Starstrucked.

I don't want to go back,

I was hesitant,

I liked it here,

I do.

I was carried away,

Carried away by fear.

So, I went back to the secret garden,

Where our love blooms.

But I miss the real world,

I woke up, tasted the waters,

taste I never had.

Confronted the fear.

I gaslight.

Turn the table around.

There was pain,

I was hurt,

but less, because I gaslight.

It was a happy dream,

but I need to explore,

the real world awaits.

I'm sorry.
