Are you real?

Are you real?
You are a tangent, infinitely closeAnd yet you fade away too soonYou glow awhile in borrowed lightArriving in phases, like the moon
You come close only to turn awayYou seek and then you eludeYou speak with a thunderous silenceYou pretend,  you delude.
You are a puzzle I need to solveYou are the question that went unaskedYou are the game that I can never winYou are a riddle which comes masked.
You exist only in imaginationBut the warmth of the glow is realOnly time will tell if you are summer rain Or an elaborate winter spiel.
