We were walking together just like normal in the woods next to the highway.  Watching the cars pass us. Listening as they drive right by. They always gave me weird looks as they watched me walk and talk.  It’s strange.  She has always been with me until she wasn’t.  She always came back to me.  Everyone in my life has been strange since she first left.  We go everywhere together, every time we go somewhere people ask me if I’m ok.  I tell them I’m with my friend and they always stare and walk away.  Why do they stare at me?  Why do people act weird?  She’s always with me and no one listens.  We talk all day, every day.  She said she was sick but she looked just fine.  She left for a week but came back and stayed with me forever. So why do people stare?

“Why do they doubt me?”

“People can be cruel. I’m here. They just don’t know it yet”

“You’ve always been here”

“Yes and I always will be. Forever and ever”
