Shadow: the True Lover

I was walking as drunk
But regret, drank nothing. 
Dogs were barking in the street
But fearless man had nothing. 

 Kicked small stones
 To entertain myself. 
 Shaped lips for whistle merrily
 To sing a song for thyself. 

Suddenly I noticed
Someone was behind me
I turned at once
But none was special behind me. 

A dark shade
Was lying silently on sand. 
Wow! It was amazing 
Something like me was printed. 

I ran hurriedly
But it chased me
I stopped
It also stopped like me. 

I said, 'go away'
Neither replied nor moved
I kicked hard it
But it not responded. 

I prayed
I bribed
I rebuked to get rid of
But it never turned.

Without any demand
It dwells with me
Nobody can understand 
How much she loves me.
