Real

I saw something in the distance,
But it was just as small when I got there.
I saw something in the distance,
But it was only you.

I walk around
Where the crowds have been
Telling myself boring stories,
Laughing at all the wrong parts,
And smiling about us.

Feelings flash in vivid patches.
I'm the spirit of someone you killed
Dumped in the trunk of a car
And pushed off the edge of the world

It seems silly now,
But at the time you were fascinating.
We laughed at all the same wrong parts.
We laughed.
And I could've sworn,
For a few minutes at least,
You were real.
