When I put my head on my pillow
The magic starts
I meet people
People far more interesting and kind than in real life
Strangers
Acquaintances
Family and friends
Blemishes in character voided
Debts are nonexistent
Mine and theirs
New loves spellbinding
Some brand new; some recurring
But all miraculous and mythical just the same
I don’t know them but I love them unconditionally
I wake ready to take on the world
For just a mere moment
Until the realization
That it wasn’t real
I plod through the day
I can’t wait to put my head on my pillow tonight
