I Sketch Mirrors

this weird thing is happening

there is a boy next to me


I'm walking, and he is right there,

by my very side


looking at me

mimicking me


i tilt my head while I'm running

to secretly look beside me


he's there!

running in the same pace

i speed, so as to mix it all up

but his feet don't miss a beat


while sitting, i sketch mirrors


as i suspect, he is there

chin on my shoulder 

looking down at our reflection on the paper


but through the side of my eye i can see

that he is not looking at our reflection

but straight at me,


while i sleep

i think he stays by me


because when i wake up,

that state between sleep and not,


his hands are on his chin,

by my bedstead

like a little child that is excited,

eagerly waiting for our day

to begin again


it's been weeks

he won't leave


this weird thing is happening

there is a boy next to me


maybe, maybe
