My funny funny Valentine
Loss without being
I have a friend
He's not real
An imaginary friend
O ~ o ~
I have a friend
He came and went in an instant
I feel the pain of separation
O ~ o ~
I have a friend
Who's neither male nor female
Yet I think of him
O ~ o ~
My friend cannot feel
Cannot love
He is not there
O ~ o ~
Even the he is imaginary
But imagination is real right?
He is because he isn't
O ~ o ~
I talk about him
Like he is there
Like he exists within
O ~ o ~
I can feel him
In his absence
Feel the loss
O ~ o ~
He has no name
Let's call him Valentine
My funny Valentine
O ~ o ~
I wonder what happens
To friends who never were
When they are gone
O ~ o ~
Does he dream?
o ~ o ~ o ~

Only of Neverland. Love the poem, Raymond. It wanders around playing with ideas the way I so often like to do.
Hmmm, this felt so sad and introspective. Loved it!
Good job. I think we all have a friend like this one, and some would say could it be your conscious speaking.
