Chasing a Reflection

I have walked down roads unseen..
                                     Always searching for a glimpse..
                                          Maybe a peek into me..
                                             But always too shy..
                                                         ~~
                                         A crystal ball without light..
                                       Showing me the same figure..
                                       A man in black looking down..
                                              To a boy in dreams..
                                                         ~~
                                        At the end of the road, peace..
                                         The boy now a man not lost..
                                          The reflection in black seen..
                                                It was always me..
