Imaginary Friends

Here I was thinking…

Fake people wouldn’t hurt me the same way
If they weren’t real, how could I get attached
How could they hurt me
And so then how could I hurt them

I should have known better
Of course I’ll get attached, real or imaginary
And even an imaginary friend can say no
Can go away and leave me to ache

So if you weren’t real, does that make you fake
Yes i suppose it does, after all
Didn’t you say you loved me, and then leave
So then you couldn’t have been true

And so now I’ve learned my lesson
But am I any better off for it
I would give my heart away again I think
To someone who tells me they love me

So now I’m thinking that maybe
Even though you’ve gone, it will be okay
After all, I still love you, real or not
And that’s enough for me

  1. Sometimes when we think someone is fake it's because we don't want to see the truth. We believe they are because we got hurt. Fake people do exist, yes, but being able to see through them from the moment you meet is how we know they are fake. Close friends can turn out to be fake, but we are blinded by wanting to trust them. This is an interesting post. It definitely has emotions flowing through it. Don't push a close friend away because you are upset with them. It hurts more than you think.
