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.

I was thinking it was a shadow all along but then it ends with it being a female. Was this written from a woman's perspective though? For me it would still have to be the shadow.

Good morning Andrea Dietrich. A true lover should have all these qualities like shadow. It may be woman, man and best friend too. Thanks for your goodness.
