It's that minute; it's one second; it's an instant that catches both unaware and reaches into what should be one. It happens when they sleep, and they don't know. They can't know.

In that moment they are red (courage, love) and green (understanding, wisdom). Blue for eternity; safety stays silvercrimson and warm. Shades of grey because... because that's what they are, too. Pink tinges everything, soft but dominant, the colour that has always defined their line.

In that moment their dreams collide. One dreams of thousand lights and thousand noises, of voices that call her theirs. One dreams of spring and calm rivers, of innocent faces she could call hers.

That's my past, she says. Abandoned for this destiny, this love.

That's my future, she says. The love fate snatched away.

Past and future, left and right, and in-between lies the boy who can't decide.

In that moment he wouldn't need to.

Because there's no difference, for there shouldn't be any. There's no conflict, for it's absurd and so pointless. They aren't two, never separate.

It's a mystery, the price for sharing what shouldn't be split. It's the secret they can't know. Not yet.

It's Them and they are One.
