Is it the end?

So many things had happened between us lately , things that I have spoken of and things that I have not but he dropped by yesterday to put an end to this story, once and for all. He told me that we won't be meeting any more. No more sweet chat, no more visiting, no more talking, no more reading my mind and discussing my issues.

We met in an unusual setting, like usual I think! And our chat went like that.

'So what's now, we are walking on the clouds?' I said mockingly.

"What do you see?" He calmly replied.

'I can see empty streets. No one is here but us. How do we always end up somewhere like here?' I asked.

"You came to me, again!" He answered.

'It's not that I intentionally came to you. I was just thinking about so much lately that you are on my mind constantly and in front of me half of them.' I shrunk while saying that.

"Well, how was your walk home last time?" He said.

'hey! That's not fair!'

"What? Me asking about you?"

'No, you changing the subject!'

" We didn't even start one yet!"

'Well, you know we have an on going conversation.'

"We do!"

'I'm pretty serious here.'

"With whom do you have this conversation, me or him?"

'Well, aren't you the same person?'

"Are you aware that you are coming here pretty often lately?"

'You don't want me here?'

"Not that I don't want you, it's I want you to face your troubles not to escape from them."

'Well, I'm.... I'm simply chatting with you first about them.'

"Then do it with the me from the other side. Coming to complaint from that person to me won't solve a thing neither would it change anything. Careful little princess, there are some things going on you wouldn't like how they would end up soon enough."

'I don't get you. Just say it up right and stop with the riddles.'

"I'm just a warning sign." He continued, "You should join the land of the living more often , wake up from your fantasy. I know life isn't easy but it isn't perfect either and so are you." He paused for a few awkward moments while looking at me. It was like he was observing my reaction and studying them. Maybe giving me a moment to catch my thoughts before dropping the next bomb. "What we had was just a weird dream which you should forget and move on. Go and find your life."

'No, What? Wait!! I'm ready to be on my own yet! please I......'

Then he simply left without looking behind, straight forward without a second glance or even giving me a chance to complete want I was saying. He was always a strong minded person who knows what he wants and confident in what he is doing. He disappeared in the fog like a ghost , like he never existed. We all have him in our minds ,, my imaginary friend was my perfect imperfect version of a human I wanted once to be....
