I'd rather be me

You're just an imaginary figure
I have in my head
Sometimes you're here and
Sometimes you'll simply fade

I had no idea that
You could last so long
I thought once I'd found someone
That surely you'll be gone

I see you almost everywhere
Yet you seem so unreal
Though I know this is in the past
But I'll never rid of you I fear

Now go, please go away
Can't you just let me be?
I'm positive I don't want to be
Stuck on you eternally

Yes I'd rather be alone
I'd rather I be me
Once you leave me I'll have
Permission to be free

But now I realize you have left
Though I try so hard to find
Imagination and mere fantasy
Are all that's left behind
