I met a woman,           On my daily jog. She was my lookalike,           Walking with a dog. The parameter that surrounded, It changed in that moment. We were somewhere else, Change of a second or may be a minute. I saw her ghost-like skin, I saw the redemption she was seeking for her sins. I saw a battered mind, I saw those dead but piercing eyes. I tried to communicate, Couldn't read her mind. She tried as well, Then she vanished from my sight. It was an experience,      I can't explain. It stopped me there,      Lured me to see,what I'm trying to gain. I knew the path I was walking, Will get me there. Where I was someone, That I can't seems to bare. Knowing what's going to happen, Left me reeling. Knowing there was a possibility of loosing; Everything that I hold dear, Everything that I want near. It took me a moment to realise, There wasn't a ghost I was seeing, Just a trick of my unconscious mind. It was an awakening, I didn't knew I was waiting for, It was an opportunity, To change what could happen and maybe being more. It was a blessing..... And it was a curse. It changed the facts and the future... And everything that could've occurred.

A blessing and a curse.
I met a woman,           On my daily jog. She was my lookalike,           Walking with a dog. The parameter that surrounded, It changed in that moment.

I tried to communicate, Couldn't read her mind. She tried as well, Then she vanished from my sight. It was an experience,      I can't explain.
