Illusions of the heart

You thought he was the love of your life
The one, the only
But then you realise
He doesn't see the person you could be

To him you're just a pretty face
Nothing more, nothing less

He doesn't know you
And you don't know him
You've never looked into each others eyes
To see what's within

But sometimes you both feel so above
Is it 'like' or is it 'love'?

You don't know what to say
Since you've both been apart
It's obvious in every way
What you both had, was the illusions of the heart.
