From: Yang Jungwon

Tear-stained,

my cheeks were tear-stained.

Yet as I run to the playground,

more tears were falling.

"You have PTSD.

You didn't have any outlet,

so your brain created its own escape."

"You've been experiencing auditory hallucinations.

And you created a new person inside your head to escape your problems.."

"I'm sorry Jungwon, but that girl is not real."

The doctor's words, it rang in my head.

"She is not real.

It's just your imagination.

You were alone the whole time.

You weren't talking to anyone."

It was a cacophony of voices that were telling me more than what I wanted to know.

They told me to take a red pill,

and you will no longer exist.

But no, you are real... right?

You won't just disappear because of a pill I took.

You are someone who actually lives,

you are someone I actually talked to,

you are someone who actually exists...

Sunhee,

you are the only reason why I always come to the playground...

I reached the place you said that you'll always be,

but you were not there...

So, was it true?

Are you really just a hazy lucid dream?

You...

You left.

Without a word,

You left me.
