Friend

Sitting on the bed 
talking to a friend.

Sharing memories 
and starting new ones.

Tell your darkest secrets
over a milk shake.

Growing bonds is 
what it makes.

Holding hands on the beach
cuddling on the couch.

A friend to turn to 
when the world has turned on you.

Receiving odd stares 
when talking to you.

I just laugh it off
and walk right through.

My friend is 
the unseen kind.

With no reflection 
or shadow.

According to most
my friend is a ghost.
