My Imaginary Locket
I wear an imaginary locket around my neck
I go to a quiet place and look at your picture
I close my eyes softly and ponder what your eyes look like
Then I close my imaginary locket and place it even closer to my heart
Its hinges are worn
Your image is faded
I hope to see you soon to snap a new mental picture
My imaginary locket worn securely in its place
My heart dances merrily when I put it back in its place
