They are

I don't know for how long I stood there.
I guess after a while I went into my room. If one of my siblings had come by
, they wouldn't understand, I knew that.
Like when we're in the woods or at the sea.
They don't understand. They don't see it. They don't feel it...

Not like I do
, at least. I don't think they would have noticed him either.
I guess people don't really look anymore. Most people
, that is. It's always been sort of taboo... and yet, getting to know people, it is one of the topics that is so very often encountered during conversation.
Memories
, hidden away not to be spoken of - these experiences we have and never forget.
Something out of the ordinary.
A sight
, a voice, a presence.
A feeling.
A whisper blown around the corner only to kiss your face
. Caressing your rosy winter-cold cheeks, fooling your ears and mind with the sound, as an autumns leaf falling from the sky gliding through your hair as the soft and careful hand of a lover on a summer day - and let you forget, like you forget just how beautiful spring is. Let you doubt it, doubt yourself - ask your self it that was..? Did I just..?

"Hello?"

I leaned against the door once I'd closed it.
I don't remember if I said anything to him - I think he would have known what I wanted to say anyway.
If I'd told him "I know you're there"
, it would have served only the purpose of reassuring myself.
He knew that I knew.
He could see it in my eyes
, and I could feel it coming from his, even if they were hidden in the shadows by my bed.

Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever see him again - if he's still here.
Why he let me see him.
Maybe - maybe one day we'll meet again.
Another time
, another place...
Even if I can't see him
, I'll know he's there.
