A Lover's Delusion

We've grown old together.
We've weathered the strongest storms
in each other's arms.
We've been best friends, lovers, parents,
and each other's worst enemies.
We've lived a lifetime together.
But there's one huge problem.
You've never acknowledged my existence
because we've never met;
in fact, you don't exist.
I've been living this fantasy for years,
and it's replaced my daily routine.
It's replaced any resemblance to a normal life.
It's replaced my dreams for my future.
But it's all that I have,
and no one can take that away from me.
But I can't live inside myself forever
because in spite of myself, there are people,
who love me,
who want to get to know me,
and who will need me in the future.
But where will you go?
And how can I go on without you?
I don't ever want to find out.
But I have to wake up from this trance,
while I still have time,
or else, I'll stay in this chair forever
and let the world go on, without me.
