Encountered #2 engine failure at 37;000 feet and diverted to ZZZ.  On climb out the forward center pump pressure light came on at 400 pounds. A few minutes later we notice over 1;000 pound imbalance and started a cross feed.  Reaching level off the throttles began to split about 2 inches and it's command sector was active with no throttle movement.  The #2 engine then slowly began to wind down in increments and finally completely.  A restart was attempted with no results. During this we diverted to ZZZ.
At top of climb on Aircraft X ZZZ1-ZZZ2 the number two engine slowly lost thrust and the engine failed. First indications of the failure was a split in throttle position and command sector indication above current thrust. The QRH for engine failure was run followed by the QRH engine restart checklist. The engine did not restart and we diverted to ZZZ and landed uneventfully.
B737 flight crew reported a #2 Engine spool down and subsequent failure at cruise. A fuel imbalance followed and the flight crew elected to divert and make a precautionary landing.
