Beginnings

Have you ever had an imaginary friend?
I did, his name was Adam.
I met him when I was seven.
He was eight.
He became my best friend.
My only friend, for eight years.
It was a bond that became something more.
A decision separated us.
I haven't given up.
How could I?
He's the only man I've ever loved.

Author's note: I don't consider this a paranormal romance, just some good old-fashioned fiction where anything is possible; even falling in love with a boy nobody else can see.
