In this world, I'm sure that everyone has a friend. Even if they are not real, they may be imaginary ones.

Well, my girl had many friends. But, she's not satisfied with that. She said many friends she had are not very friendly. She often said to me that she only have two friends who really like her. The others did not say that they do not like her. But she said she can feel that. Sometimes, she said to me that she really love her two friends and me.

Oh!I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Suiren(lotus). I am a tall girl with long hair. I always hold a lotus in my hand . I have a fair complexion. And, I always wear a kimono.Her sister created me on a paper. She gave me to her sister as a present. And she always keep me in her room with me.My girl really likes Japanese anime, so, I am Suiren, her imaginary friend.

When she was 6 years old, her parents moved to a new town. She had to say goodbye to her old friends. Her parents was rarely home so she was left alone with maids. So, her only friend was me. She talks to me about many things, like her new teacher, her new friends,etc. She also said that she had been facing difficulties with her new social life. She was pleased to talk to me because I always listened to her with a calm smile.She said she was happy to be with me and so did I. We passed two happy years together. But, our happy days didn't last long. I did not grow up but she grew up. After two years, she got many new friends who really like her. Her parents also came home earlier. She had happy times with them. She stopped talking to me. My figure was on her table but she didn't notice me.

But, one day she suddenly noticed me. She was thinking of me for a while. Her smiled when she remembered our moments together. On that day, she said many new things.
"Suiren, I am 12 now," I have many new friends and a good life now, thanks for being my friend when I am lonely, I am sorry that you are now lonely,"
"I will come and talk with you when I am free, Suiren."
I said,"It's ok Annie, as long as you remember me, I will remain in your heart."
As usual, she didn't hear my words all she saw was, me smiling.Since that day , she rarely talks to me. But, I am pleased as long as she remembers me.

And,many years had passed. She got her new friends and real life adventures. But she still remembered me.She's married to a man named Darren, who was one of her friends.She got two lovely kids, Erik(the older boy) and Bonnie(the younger girl).She got many good memories but sadly, I was no longer included. One day, my picture was long gone from her table. It was replaced with her family photo. I was fading day after day from her memories.

One day, I completely faded from her mind. On my last day, I took a glance at her and her family. I smiled and said,
"Annie, I am glad that you've got many friends and real life experiences," in a sad tone, I'm sure that she won't hear my words. As I said those words, I faded away with the cold breeze coming into her room.

Annie came quickly and closed the windows. She said,
"The wind is so cold, I felt something and I don't know what is that,.."
"Mommy!"yelled Bonnie, "It's Erik, he is playing pranks on me"
Then, Annie went to stop the quarrel between her kids,(brother and sister) as usual.At that time, I was long gone..

Even if you haven't seen your friend for a long time or you've lost someone important to you, as long as you remember them, they will remain in your heart forever...
