Have you ever tried to escape a presence…

A haunting connection that defies logic. This piece explores the mysterious bond between two souls — a presence that follows even into dreams, a mirror that reflects what words cannot explain. A poetic journey through fear, fate, and the unanswered questions of the heart.

Only to find it chasing you into your dreams,
as if it were pushing you to meet it again in reality?
As if you were meant to face this being that frightens you,
without ever understanding why your souls seem bound together.

And then… when the heavens finally grant you the courage to confront this soul,
you realize that in the real world, it pretends not to see you…
while you, you see it clearly.
You know a bond exists. You feel it.
And yet… you remain frozen.

Why are you in my dreams,
when I erase you from my waking thoughts?
And now that I have returned to face you,
you pretend not to know me.
Perhaps we are both being moved like pawns
by a force far greater than ourselves…
But how could we know? How could we understand…
when it all feels utterly mad, unreal, untouchable?

And what if… our souls were tied by a mystical, incomprehensible thread?
And what if we were nothing more than each other’s mirror…
What is the true reason for this spiritual connection?
And why… do I still have no answer?
