John is speaking "rabbinically" and in rabbinical literature, as well as biblical, One can personify certain things
Wisdom is not another person but is spoken of in that way. But in reality it was God who Created BY Wisdom
The memra being with God is a personification along the same lines.
There is another possible Option. The memra is also seen as the Angel of the LORD...not another person but a literal personification or "Hypostisization"...we might call him a Manifestation.
Being With God represents the reality prior to the incarnation...prior to the creation that before God sent His Word to Abraham and others, before He sent His Memra to earth, where was the Memra? With God
