Imaginary guy

I don't think I loved you
I think I loved the idea of you
I liked the picture of us

You and me
A nice dream
A pleasant idea

I created a completely different you
In my head
You were my imaginary person

I took your face
And changed you
Changed everything about you

You and me
It's a nice thought
But unrealistic

We run completely different races
We have completely different prizes in mind
We are just to different

And the guy I cared about
Only exists in my mind
He isn't real never was never will be   

Author's Note

I think all of us have found someone who we meet maybe a few times and then take their face and pain a different personality in our heads, we fall for that person we have created in our heads. I did that with this busy guy I have been talking about, I made him out to be someone he isn't. It isn't always bad but sometimes we forget who is the real person and who's the person we created in our heads

You don't have to be so pessimistic. I also dream about a girl this way, and I still haven't lost hope. Just thinking that this girl is the ONE is on a hold for now. So if we look at it rationally, God didn't make us to stay alone, we will always have someone to love us. But I love this poem, and the way you have portrayed your emotions and feelings.

We can never change anyone, only they can, if they want. Look deeper..

This poem has a strong voice, I can tell that the feelings behind it are genuine and I like that. Small grammar error- the last line in the second to last stanza "to" should be "too".
I like how you broke up your stanzas, it was as if one thought flowed to the next and created a good rhythm for the poem, making it easy to read and follow.
You have good imagery here. its subtle but effective and simple which is great because it means that anyone can read this and completely understand it as opposed to select few grasping the message.

This poem is fantastic. I really like it and i can relate to it in some sort.

[Cafe Reader]

Very imaginative!

[Geralyn Miller]

Ah, yes, all of us have probably done this at some point in our lives The real problem arises when we try to forcibly mold the real person into our fantasy; that always leads to disaster and pain.
You have done a wonderful job of expressing an experience common to most, in a lovely flowing poem.

It's sad that love can turn out bad. Sometimes I feel like I should date just for the heck of it, to show others that I'm not a loser, but I know deep down that's not true love.
