<span lang="en-US">Mother, it's good to see you in this room
You've been missing me I assume
I'm in lands covered in snow
While you're in fields where flowers bloom</span>
<span lang="en-US">I can see you cooking my favorite meal
Giving me hugs that I can't feel
Yet you're standing just besides me
Wearing my shirt and your veil</span>
<span lang="en-US">I miss those sandwiches of butter and jam
You used to post on Instagram
Back when people used the screens
But now it's all in holograms</span>
<span lang="en-US">I know my absence left a scar
That my smell's still in your car
Yet technology always kept us
So close no matter how far</span>)

The Sweet Illusion by Omar Alameddine, 2017.
Mother, it’s good to see you in this room
You’ve been missing me I assume
I’m in lands covered in snow
While you’re in fields where flowers bloom
I can see you cooking my favorite meal
Giving me hugs that I can’t feel
Yet you’re standing just besides me
Wearing my shirt and your veil
I miss those sandwiches of butter and jam
You used to post on Instagram
Back when people used the screens
But now it’s all in holograms
I know my absence left a scar
That my smell’s still in your car
Yet technology always kept us
So close no matter how far
