I stole away, just 'til you
almost forgot me.

Thanks for stopping by! :)

I find this very mysterious. I think it's the picture you chose as well. It's left me with an idea but not a surety, if you know what I mean? I like being in this state of unknowing and it sort of mirrors what your haiku is about.
Mystic and spooky, Gabriel! Good luck on the challenge!
