I believe in everything until it is disproved. SO I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

Today I met a great new friend
Who knew me right away.
It was funny how she understood
All I had to say.
She listened to my problems,
She’d been there too.
I never once felt judged,
She knew just how I felt.
She seemed to just accept me,
And all the problems I’d been dealt.
She didn’t interrupt me,
Or need to have her say.
She just listened very patiently,
And didn’t go away.
I wanted her to understand,
How much this meant to me.
But as I went to hug her,
Something startled me.
I put my arms in front of me
And went to pull her nearer,
I realized that my new best friend
Was nothing but a mirror.
