Putting Thoughts Out to the World

Looking Back...

Every day and every night

I dream with opened eyes

My friends in here have grown apart

I always am surprised

All I did was think of them

Only in my mind

Now they're hidden everywhere

They make me feel so blind

Originating in my thoughts

Where all the stories start

I pictured them and played with them

They traveled to my heart

I shaped them from experience

I made them on my own

They started thinking for themselves

So I was not alone

I used to take them everywhere

They wouldn't leave my side

We said we'd always be this way

Our minds were full of pride

We never really understood

Why grown-ups never played

My happy child ignorance

I wish it could have stayed

Yet if you really think, you know

That nothing really lasts

I realized that when I looked back

On old times that had passed

I tried to bring them back, but

Where they were I could not say

All I have is memories

I guess they moved away

Remembering can be quite hard

But every day I try

To bring back all those silly thoughts

And then I want to cry

For I cannot go back to them

They've scattered everywhere

I think it's pointless to deny

That life just isn't fair

So they have gone, they had to go

Like every story ends

But I still have a love for my

Imaginary friends
