Spelling Mistake

Brighter than sunshine. Lighter than feather. I'm all that whenever I'm inside you.

The last time I saw you was around 5 years ago. Was it? No, it was a lot more than that. No... it was probably more than 5 but no more than 8. Well, I can't remember. I can't remember when is when anymore. But does it matter now? No, it doesn't. And that's what's happening. Nothing matters now. Nothing at all.
I can still smell your skin. You and you only liked that woody perfume. I must confess I hated it. But falling for you was more than hating your strangely choice of perfume. I had to love everything about you. If not love, well, it was a lot like love.
I'm here at the coffee shop. This place is packed of strange faces and acquaintances. It's funny how none of them remind me of you. Even the most attractive girl does not resemble you at all. Of course she doesn't. How could she? She doesn't smell of wood, she doesn't drink latte, and she's a very happy girl. I'm not saying that you're not happy. But how could you be happy when you're lost in this world you don't belong to? I wonder.
You distractively placed your eyes on me a couple of times. Did you ever know that I had mine on you from the very first day you came into my life? I saw you shyly smiling at me the other day before that guy pop in. But was it real, or just my fantasy?
You don't exist. You never did. All I can say is I've made my dreams almost real. Almost?! They've swallowed part of my everyday life! What almost... They've haunted me every single day here in this coffee shop waiting, seeing, longing for someone who never existed in real apart from in my dreams! But the strange thing is: it was close enough for me to feel your heartbeat, whenever I thought I saw you... in here.
