My Long Term Imaginary Friend

Always near never far
Always trying to raise the bar

Happy face he fills my space
He welcomes me he licks my face

I talk for him, he knows my words
He looks at me it’s so absurd

We are as one I know not why
He always makes me want to cry

I would like him to stay around
Not just be there when I’m down

He’s my friend, my one true being
No one knows what I am seeing

My imaginary friend, A dog! they say
But they don’t understand , maybe they will one day
