Chasing a Ghost

I've seen you
I've followed you
I've loved you

You loved me
Once
You followed me
Once
You needed me
Once

And now you've begun to fade
And now I chase you
And follow you
And still love you

But you don't look back to find me
Unless it's to see
If I'm still chasing you

And yet I run
And run
And I can't catch you

And you don't look back
I've grown tired
And I cannot run anymore

So now I sit
And mourn
For my ghost
