Mirage!

Like a mirage,you are,
so close yet so far.

A perpetual distance throughout,
An illusion to live with,
A dream, never a nightmare,
A desire, fair chances ahead.

would you ever know,
If I took million steps to reach.

Would you ever trust,
I waited long where I stand.

Would you ever wish,
A cloud had stepped on.

And swept all the lines between.
