Ivan

When was the last time you slept peacefully? Probably only in your dreams. Your eyes have been staring into space for some time now, but it only seems that you're alone. His presence, the one who has become your worst nightmare, is constantly felt. Whether alone or in a crowd. He's everywhere He's near

You once witnessed his death. When his kiss imprinted itself on your lips, and then gave way to a metallic taste. You watched the life slip from his eyes. As he fell. You saw your reflection in his blood and could do nothing.

And now, every minute of your life is with him. He comes at different times, in different guises. A child, a teenager, an adult. No one sees, but you see. You feel his presence. He is like a shadow. Everywhere and nowhere.

Your hands tremble, your eyes fill with a mixture of fear and... love. You loved him. But you realized it was too late. He's gone. He'll never hear you say you love him again.

His name echoes in my ears. Ivan His black hair, his deep eyes. Lips that never smiled before. Fingers that will never warm up.

You're going crazy. But he's nearby. He's here. With you.

“You’re dead, please leave me alone,” you say as tears drip down.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. I'll be here as long as you live," he replies, laying his head on your trembling back.
