Imaginary Friend

Dear imaginary friend,

You've suddenly gone away,

Like you don't need me.

Found something better, with more attention to pay.

But I need you now,

More than ever,

How can you desert me, now?

Dear imaginary friend,

I thought I heard your voice,

But it was just the wind.

Are you're packed away with old dusty toys?

Are you in that chained up box?

If so, I'm sorry, and hold on,

I'll get the key for the locks.

Dear imaginary friend,

Please don't hide from me,

I'm beginning to lose hope,

Where are you, you'd better hurry!

I said I didn't need you,

But I've proven myself wrong,

Come back, 'cause you know it isn't true.

Dear imaginary friend,

I'm not looking anymore,

I guess you do not care,

I'll have you know, it's my heart that you tore.

Sitting here, and wondering,

If you'll ever come back home,

Through the corner of my eye, is the slightest twinkling.

Dear imaginary friend,

Ah, there you are my friend,

Waiting right where I had left you.

I knew you wouldn't leave me, waiting for the end.

How couldn't I have known?

How had I been so foolish?

But I guess I have been shown.

Dear imaginary friend,

Sitting on your shelf,

You knew I'd come around,

To know it wasn't you gone, but myself.

I'm sorry I was not there,

I don't know why I strayed

From your ever soothing care.
