The Shadow

Do my clothes look like yours?
Can you see them, or am I just a shadow?
Do my heart lub dub like yours?
Can you hear it, or am I just a shadow?
Do you live on this rock too?
Can we share it, or am I just a shadow?
Do you see the world in my smile?
Can you smile back, or am I just a shadow?
Do I frighten you as I stand on the margins of your gaze?
Can you see me, or am I just a shadow?
Do you know my name?
Can you ask me, or am I just a shadow?
Do I scare you as I jog along?
Can you jog with me, or am I just a shadow?
Do you know I get scared too?
Can you see it on my face, or am I just a shadow?
Do you know that I am you and you are me?
Can we talk about that, or am I just a shadow?
