Dream of you

Sometimes I wish I could escape you; I wish I could run away, but no such luck. Ever since we were young you would manifest into my dreams, so it makes it hard to sleep, you see. I wish I could forget you, but I really can’t. No matter how hard or far I run, I could never outrun you. I am scared to close my eyes because all I see is you. I can stare off into space and I see you there. I thought that maybe if I drank you away you would fade, but instead, the only thing fading is me. I guess my only option is for us to have a chat. I have tried to avoid you, but how can I? We are stuck together, not because I want to, but because you are me.
