there was a dull pain in the back of my eyes, maybe it was from straining my eyes always searching for you around every corner.
i thought i saw you today
i turned to let someone come through a door behind me, just for a second i thought it was your outline
i felt stupid when i saw it was a reflection of my own shadow behind me. i could have sworn i felt a presence.
i felt goosebumps appearing on my body. was this was it was like to be haunted
i turned away with a little less hope than before. i wasn't sure when i'd see you again but i wasn't ready to accept the possibility i might not.
people did always say we looked similar but they would never fail to note that was about all we shared
i could never compete with your beauty or charm
you hated when people compared us,
i had never seen the apparent similarity but i gained confidence through the comparison to you
beautiful you
i could never quit fill your shadow
yet here i stand alone in your eclipse
