When I got lost in the busy streets
I found you staring anxiously at me,
With deep dark eyes of sadness
Standing all alone with no one to greet…
I moved ahead on my way
As all seemed worthless to me,
Dull shoulders and hidden hands
As I walked past her so free…
Never did I realize the truth
She had found what she was looking for,
Within my shadow that followed me
And she wasn’t lonely any more…
But soon I changed my way
And left her all alone again,
The dark soul in me pulled me deep inside
And so never did I feel any pain…
