When I was just a little girl <br />I loved to pretend <br />I would laugh and joke and play <br />With my imaginary friend <br />We ran, we skipped, we hopped <br />The fun never stopped <br />When I got older <br />And understood you had to go <br />I held the pain inside <br />So it wouldn't show <br />I loved you more than anything <br />You were my best friend <br />I didn't want it to end <br />But even though you're far away <br />You're still here in my heart <br />If I just hold on <br />I know we'll never part.<br /><br />Kelli D.
