THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...)
imaginary friends
I know you're out there
and I know that you care
in your words
imaginary friends
I read what you write
I see with your light
in your words
we never have to meet
just believe it is real
let the words embrace you
and let yourself feel
that's as real as it gets
in this online sharing
it's easy to believe
that you are really caring
for you don't disappoint me
you don't see my flaws
you aren't here when I
stumble or pause
there's no complications
that a touch can bring
as real as I want you
like a song I sing
imaginary friends
I hear you giggling
I see you wiggling
in your words
imaginary friends
if you're believing
what you're receiving
in your words
we never have to face
the doubts of daily life
the challenge of survival
the momentary strife
the mundane passing time
is compressed here online
a few words expressing
the name that we sign
for you don't have to see me
it's a fountain of youth
you aren't here to know
age, sex, or truth
there's no complications
of physical things
as real as I want you
like a song I sing
imaginary friends
here I can control you
delete you or hold you
in your words
imaginary friends
there's no more accounting
no more tension mounting
just the words
I don't know if it's healthy
I don't know if it's right
I don't know if I'm hiding
from the day or the night
I may be just fooling myself
ignoring loneliness
living in these words with you
being more or less
imaginary friends
I know you're out there
even if you don't share
in your words
imaginary friends
life may be what each of us pretends
maybe this is all we are
just the words
of imaginary friends
maybe this is all we are
just the words
of imaginary friends
