to my imaginary friend

hello
how do you do ?
what a silly thing to say
how do you do what ?
and when ?
and why ?
oh well
nice to meet you
i think
of course i don't know anything about you
since we haven't met
so the nice part of meeting you
could be very short in duration
it could be so very un-nice so very soon
oh well
hello
i like that greeting
not pretentious
or smarmy
or oh so very continental
or pretend spiritual
or tropical
how are you ?
i don't really care....yet
i might
might not
who knows ?
i need a friend
i think
why ?
i ask myself
do i not have someone to call a friend
no
yes
maybe
i don't know
those i know who i consider friends
well
okay
so maybe a friend is not what i mean
perhaps trusted confidant is the appropriate term
someone
who will listen with an open mind and heart
who does not feel it necessary to offer wisdom
the right answer
helpful advise
what i should think, feel, say or do
someone who will just listen
and let me speak til i feel better
sometimes
not often
but when i need someone to listen
i want that someone
to have a sincere willingness to be present
is this a friend ?
i don't know
i am writing to my imaginary friend
are you out there ?
or are you residing within my being ?
hmmmmmm?
good question
