we walk on the same streets
but i am never by your side
and you, never by mine
but i can always almost see you,
always almost touch you,
and though we couldn't be
further from each other,
your footsteps,
they shake the ground
beneath my feet,
your shadow,
it follows my every move
and you,
you are opaque yet so translucent,
crystal clear yet you blur before my eyes
and we,
we are both aware of one another,
yet we never leave, never meet,
and never do we walk in the same direction
but still we walk on the same streets,
just not together
