Loves Illusion

How do you tell when you are in love with the idea of being in love with somebody and not in love with the person? 

The illusion of love. 

Energy is spent trying to make this illusion as rosy as your perception of how love should be. Of how 2 people who are in love look like, think like, act like! 
You get caught up in creating this perfect illusion only to realise that it was never the love you sought. When the person is not in love with the idea of love and perhaps is in love with you, and you realise you are not in love with them. Just the idea of them. Effort and energy had been utilized to create the perfect illusion. 
Illusions never last. 

Reality overtakes the illusion. Always

Now you have to undo everything that you have worked for years for.
Everything unravels.
Unthreads.
Unweaves itself.
Wisps of the idea drip off your fingers – like oil on a wet wooden stick.
All you are left with is stains.
Of what could have been.
What was and wasn’t.
