Toy (ode To An Imaginary Pachyderm)

It's so easy to pretend

That i'm your mother and you are my best friend

I won't dream about you if you don't dream of me

All the games we play are more than

You could ever know, one in a million

I'm not mad at you, you're never mad at me

Don't be happy, do be sad,

Don't be angry but do be very glad

That you're unaware of the fact you exist

I'm a woman you're a man, or

We're just cheetahs deep in the savannah,

You will always be my favourite friend, oh elephant

It was many years ago

That you'd sit comfortably there on my pillow

I don't look at you now you won't look at me

Growing up, imagination

Is no more than a vague irritation

I won't talk to you if you can't talk to me

You're my friend and i'm a boy

Or i'm a fully grown man and you're a toy
