Poem

One time,  I made up a story which I told so often,
     That I started to believe it too, it was a whopper;
It all started at work with co-workers asking me,
         Why does a beautiful girl like you not have a . . .
                                      Boyfriend.

The constant questions were getting me angry,
     I had been married, my love was in heaven above;
Anyways, that is another story but I was resting,
          From any relationship with a man and from . . .
                                       Dating.

So one day, I made up a boyfriend so very amazing,
     I  gave him a name, first and last and a real great job;
Of course, he was handsome and sexy and loved me so,
           But it was a long distance relationship,  you see . . .
                                       Friends.

I gave him a personality based on truth, my husband,
     It was easy and I just kept adding to that big lie;
Oh Michael said this , you know the way girls often do,
          Yes indeed, he was my everything  and my forever . . .
                                       Lover.

The imaginary things we did together were so awesome,
     They were based in truth, just not now, but true;
It is sort of sad in a way, oh how I exaggerated everything,
          He gave me gifts, that I actually bought for . . . 
                                       Myself.

I  kept up that whopper for a few years until they stopped,
     The gossips moved on to another victim to bother,
And the handsome Michael just drifted away, I  miss him;
          Afterall, he was the perfect man really because he was . . .
                                        Invisible.
