Connected Premiere Contest Winner

She talks to him in her sleep
She says "I love you too"
It's a secret she has to keep
"Can I come see you ?"

She sleeps to see her special friend
He doesn't have a name
She says he's real and not pretend
She says they are the same

She's five years old 
And the day she arrived
She has never been told
Her twin brother died
