The walls are clear but I can't see you.
At least not you for you.
Only what you want me to see.
The colorful combination of your mind is not visible.
You are what I want you to be.
You are gray.
But I will never know.
To me, you look like puzzle pieces.
But they are put together
by my mind.

The author's comments:
The idea of platonic conception is so intrigueing and real, that I felt instantly drawn to write about it.
