I saw you
my heart spoke...
'Hey Shauq..!
This a fraud
your eyes sight
effected...'
'The meeting
was a dream
that face
couldn't be
the same...'
'Not the one...
you write of as perfection
that drives you to insanity
for the want of her love...'
No...it was no dream
you truly met,
you should know
long she's haunted you
The beauty you saw
not the beauty of a girl
but the fairy
who always visited your dreams
