You're* imaginary, and the only
thing that could ever
live up to the impossible
expectations I have.
But...
for one day
I ask
that you allow me to talk
without such loud thoughts
or silent words.
For one day
I ask
that you don't try to fight
your way out of my mind.
For all my years
I've been learning,
learning to love myself,
and because you are me
and I am you,
I only ask
that you learn to
love me too.
