Imaginary friend

Once you were Real, Faded, then Gone…
 
I have a great imagination…
& i don’t feel like missing you
So I’ll play pretend…  
 
Welcome to my life,  
My dear imaginary friend!  
We have a heart-load of shit to share; it’s been so long  
You start first  
Tell me of your travels!  
Of those who’ve entered your life…  
And the losses too…  
Share stories of your family?  
Tell what warms your heart?  
confide in me the aches?  
 
Then I’ll speak of mine…  
…  
But that’s the thing about imaginary friends…  
I can’t know of you  
You cannot speak true  
Regardless, i converse, one-sided…  
for (imaginary) friendship's sake
