rhyming "say" and "portray" in the context of this piece, is a forced rhyme. This might work as a lyric, though I think it needs a bit more meat. To repeat "(will you be my friend?)" I think that the previous lines should be somewhat similar to hold the flow in place. The second one felt jarring to me. You talk about forming an image, but it is hard to see one in all this abstract diction. I can't call this a good poem, but it might qualify as a decent lyric with some reworking.

I have searched a lifetime
To find a friend.
Through pages of my imagination
I formed an image

Of you…
Certain songs, I believe simplicity can work for, but this song isn't working for me. The lack of imagery takes its toll on the lyric. If I were you I'd try to sub in some more imagery to make this stand out a bit
