I See Dead People.

There was this movie.

It was really popular when I was a kid.

I remember this baby-faced boy, and the old bald guy.

The one from the 90's.

Well he was dead, but the boy saw him anyway.

 

I'm like that.

 

I see dead people too.

Ghosts.

Walking around.

Talking.

Talking to me.

There are all these, shadowy figures.

These outlines.

Of people that I knew.

 

There's one.. he's blonde.. and he's high.

His hair is twisted and wild and he surfs, on snow.

He tells me stories that I remember, but the endings are all different now.

He's different.

Just a shadow.

 

I loved him.

 

But now I see right through him.

He shimmers and disappears.

All the while,

so certain,

that he's alive.
