[My pain, my demon, my mermaid,
I dreamed of you so much that it is indecent to say so. I dreamed of you so much that the night now knows your eyes better than I do, dreamed of you so much that often, I admit, my dreams continued in the sun, painful illusions dancing under the star of the day.
I dreamed of you so much that I forgot to hate you, lost in the brilliance of these mists where your demon is no longer. Dreamed of you so much that surely, perhaps, your vision would be foreign to my exposed pupils; or maybe, no doubt, would burn my cheeks until the flood of my tears started.
I dreamed of you so much that your presence became tangible, like a shadow that never left me, dreamed of you so much that when I woke up, I thought you were lying by my side, softer than you never was and probably never can be; I dreamed of you so much that it seemed strange to me that others did not see you, neither in their days nor in their nights, and were free from any trace of your image.
I dreamed of you so much, I believe, that I clung to these dreams, with my memory so short, as if out of fear of letting you go, of forgetting you; dreamed of you so much that I was burning to tell you everything, instead of letting you slip away. I dreamed of you so much that I was afraid to close my eyes as much as to open them, that I wanted to dream every minute like to not dream at all.
I dreamed of you so much, it's true, that I sometimes forget that you're not just a dream; that somewhere, treading the same Earth, breathing the same air - tiny proximity! you do exist, a being of flesh and bones, laughing and alive, more real now for strangers than for me.
I dreamed of you so much, it seems to me, that you gradually faded away from every other aspect of my life, from every other part of me. Dreamed of you so much that I ended up wondering if I hadn't invented you, cruel queen who inflicted so much pain on me, to feel more wanted than I was, because you have to love someone so much to have hurt her so badly. I dreamed of you so much that I confused you with my many fantasies, dreamed of you so much that you lost your reality.
I dreamed of you so much that it's what you are now, nothing but a dream, less solid than a memory, barely heavier than a thought, witch whose trace gradually leaves my heart to become, in the end, only the bitter and so fine scar of a past wound.
My pain, my mermaid, my demon,
I dreamed of you so much now that I almost forget your name, and only remember the hatred it inspires in me.
