Mirror Mirror… English Training

I’m suspicious of my own feelings—

I don’t know if they’re guiding me or misleading me.

Last night, I saw you in my dreams.

You felt so real, so close,

with that same look I remember from the first time…

It was too perfect to be imagined.

We were happy.

Since then, you haven’t left my mind.

And seeing your face again this morning… didn’t help.

Mirror, mirror…

Could it really happen?

Could someone like you… ever be me?

Could he love me in return?

Then suddenly, the flashback returned.

A blink.

A breath.

A shift.

You weren’t someone else.

You were me—

the version of myself I’ve always wanted to be.

Maybe what I’m truly longing for is to become the person I once met in my dream.

The one with confidence.

The one who accepts others,

who dares to speak up,

who knows when to say no,

who knows how to love himself more than anything,

and who knows when to let go…

I’m lost,

on my way—

thinking I might find him somewhere else.

But maybe…

the dream was never just a dream.

Maybe it was a memory—

from a future I’ve yet to live.

Maybe he was never out there.

Maybe he’s been inside me all along.

Waiting…
