If I could just meet you, for one second,
Make direct contact, know that you exist.
If I could just be you and feel that wonderful feeling, both relieving and thrilling.
If you could show yourself to me, I would learn to be happy.
But, there's this painful reality
Where you can only be
An ever evasive shadow.
Selfishly you side-step the light, unaffected when you leave me empty and shallow.
