Was it a dream?

Was it a dream?
Or just wishful thinking?
A fantasy?
An illusion?
A delusion?
A fool’s paradise?
Trompe l'oeil?
Deception?
Mere smoke and mirrors?

The words
Whispered
The smiles
Shared
The promises
Made

Was it just a dream?
A mirage?
A counterfeit?
A knockoff?
Just a bauble?
A figment of my imagination?

Or was it real?
True?
Genuine?
And the real McCoy?
