The Shadow I Follow

You tell me to be real 
But what's real to you? 

What does it mean
To feel warm
To feel loved
To feel sure

Sure that what I want to be
Is what we are meant to be

For I will only ever wish
You to be you
To allow me to breath
Your essence
To be mesmerized by
Your journey
Your lips
Your touch
Your spirit

Even if I do not know
My own

Even if my journey is
But a sample
Of all the adventurers
I have met

All the loves that
I have discovered
Forgotten
And
Loved

I work and I work
To be prepared for the life
I wish to give
To lose myself in
And
Discover
Alongside
You

You who remains without
A name

But whose shadow I follow
Even in the dark
