Mere Shadows

So do you know who wears the mask?
She stretches right there from your feet.
And every single day and night
She always makes you feel complete.

She knows the rhythm of your steps,
She knows your every single move.
And when you’re tired, left behind,
She turns her head and waits for you.

But do you know when she is sad?
And do you know when she is lonely?
When is the last time you looked down
And smiled at her stretched on the soil?

You took for granted her attendance
And never wonder why and how.
You think you are the reason why;
You think she always knows the how.

But she is kind and she is simple,
She’ll always be there by your side.
She understands your egoism,
She’ll never leave you there to die.

You need to talk to her tonight,
And smile at her and hold her hand.
You need to sketch her every curve
And visualize her silhouette.

You see her now with different eyes.
She has a shape you never seen.
She’s not a stranger without face.
She’ll be forever in your dreams.

And now you won’t need someone else.
When all the others let you down,
You’ll have her following your trace
On all your walks across the town.
