My childhood was definitely filled with dreams like that. I used to wonder what it was like to be someone else's child or to live in town where I could walk to school or have some place to run to when things heated up, maybe for someone to hear it. I always envied my best friend, because his dad was an engineer and always seemed interested in what he was doing. I'd see a movie every now and again when I was around 10 where a lonely kid had a really neat Frenchman as an imaginary friend and I can remember bawling my eyes out at the end when they had to part ways, but not before the friend told the kid he was going to be okay and he would always be with him. I wanted someone to care about me like that. To this day I can't remember the name of it, but it has stuck with me.
