You have been my companion since you were still in the womb of your dear, loving mother. No one can ever tear us apart, even when you can stand on your own feet.
You will always be my friend. Wherever you go, I will come with you: from the path of darkness to the halls of eternal light—shimmering across your walls.
Every breath you take, I listen to it; every beat in your chest, I count it; every step you take, I follow, until your flesh crumbles in the four corners of the wet soil.
We are connected to each other—bound by the same figures; we are meant to be together on an everlasting journey until our bodies are buried in the chamber of eternal silence.
You can stamp your feet when you're mad; I don't mind. You can slash me into pieces; I won't fight back.
You can abandon me, but you can't leave me until your temper cools and you apologize. I will always be at your side, I will always be at your back—in danger and in safety, in sadness and happiness—to escort you through sorrows and struggles.
I can see what you're doing, even if you're hiding something. There is no difference between us. Remember that always, because I am you, and you are I.
