When I was a youngster
My head was filled with dreams-
Long before I learned that life
Is never as it seems.

I thought of places I would see-
And things that I would do.
In every, single thing I planned-
I made a place for you,

You were my lover and my friend
My confidant, my all-
My anchor from the winds and tide-
My cushion when I’d fall.

You knew my faults and loved me still
Despite my feet of clay-
I knew that I could count on you-
When all about gave way.

I love you though you never were-
Please know you’re sorely missed
Even though I realize
You never did exist.

Wow. This was nice and cozy... until that last line. I really like the impact and the mystery/wonder it evokes.
