I'm staring at a beautiful garden of flowers; I begin to sit over it then rays of sunshine greeted. Causing me to block my hand in front of my face and a butterfly landed on me, by this moment I was surprised by its colourful wings, and suddenly it flew away.

In the distance, a silhouette image of a man appeared, his red lips smiling sweetly and approaching me, but I wasn't able to see his face.

While he comes closer, a rush of excitement sent colours to my cheeks, and a beaming smile shows on my face. As my excitement grew, I can't resist myself ran towards him. He welcomed me with his warm embrace, and I felt a longing for him.

After that hug, he took my hand and took me to the centre suddenly he lay down on the grass then gave me a sign that I should be laid down beside him. There's something special about this man that makes my chest overflowed with happiness when I lay down next to him. He hugged me even tighter then put my head on to his chest. The tempo of his heartbeat serves like music in my ears.

"A reality without you is like a dream," he said as I felt him caress my hair. "where you are running away?" he added, I was even surprised by what he said that makes me sat down.

"What are you saying I have no intention to leave," I startled.

A butterfly went to his palm then showed it towards me, I was still confused by what he was saying but my attention caught at what he was holding "Like a butterfly, we go round and round"

"Don't go with him!" I heard a man shouts from afar while running towards us. I stood up and wasn't able to see his face, but I could hear his gasping for breath. Because of what he said it makes me more confused about what's happening, I felt a hold onto my arm, so I gaze at him.

"Are you trying to leave me once again?" he asked, I was even more confused.

"Don't listen to him, you are safer with me, come with me" he's convincing me with a pleading tone.

I was about to turn my head towards him but -

"Don't turn around; I'm holding onto your arm" I looked at his hand, and he's slowly hurting me then let go of my arm, so I distanced myself from him. "If you wanna go, try to go, Try to leave as you step on my pounding heart for you" his voice cracked.

I saw a man handed me his hand "Take my hand, you are safer with me" he repeated.

There's a feeling that I was attached to him, and I'm enticed to hold his hand, but someone grabbed me, which makes my head turn in his direction. Then shook his head, showing me that he's disagreed and didn't want me to go.

I'm mystified about who I was going to be with because they seem to share both places in my heart.

Right now, it was so sweet that I had a terrible nightmare. I closed my eyes and blow some air then listen to my pounding heart.

"Choose" it's the man that I was with earlier even though my eyes are closed. I knew his voice, and when I opened my eyes, the two huge mirrors were in front of me and noticed they were locked inside.

"You have to choose now if not I will be lost forever," they said both said.

As I listen to my heart, I chose the right mirror where he was the second man I saw earlier then he's slowly coming out from the mirror holding a white rose and smiling towards me.

I immediately touched the rose and quickly removed my finger because I felt it pierced me. Then my finger starts to bleed, and the white rose gradually changed its colour until it turned red. I heard a cracking noise within a distance, and it's the mirrors.

It was burning slowly and shattered.

The image of a sad smile from the man I first saw flashed through my head. Suddenly I perceived a hold on to my cheek, it's a hold that was familiar to me, and I felt it before.

"We had started everything from the beginning," he said with a sad tone, then my tears dripped from me, and I hold onto my chest.

It hurts terribly at this point; my tears kept falling because of the sadness I felt as if I was lonely for a long time. He hugged me tightly, which helped me feel more comfortable.

"You're not here, but everything is the same. In this dream, the moment you left me," he added again while caressing my back.

"Dream?" I whispered, and I slowly removed my hug from him, and he gradually faded.

"I will find you" the last messaged he said.

Suddenly I sat up from my bed I grabbed my chest and chased my breath I could feel the cold sweat dripping from my neck." It's just a dream" and I catch my breath "It's weird, and I thought it was all true" then I felt pain in my index finger and saw a small wound there.

I wondered every night what my dreams meant about these two men that I didn't encounter in my life. What connection do I have with them?
