mysterious

if i were to define mysterious, i would say it’s someone hiding behind a mask, stalking in the darkness, but you can still see them. they make sure you're aware of their presence, but never fully reveal themselves. my version of mysterious is how shadows fall behind in sunlight, how animals speak to each other yet still understand us. it’s how someone can follow you at night down the street, and you know they’re there. but they act like you're unaware, as if they exist only in the spaces you can’t reach.
