Still As My Shadow

I look in the mirror that sees the rear view Someone is there that looks a lot like you A pair of sharp eyes of a person I knew A phantom that can't come further than glass Caught in between, stuck at an impass Made up of memories swirling en masse I find myself alone again when I turn But behind my reflection a searing gaze burns I still check each time never willing to learn I spend all my nights waiting for you to arrive For this uncanny copy of you to revive I do nothing these days but drive and drive Mirror image when gone, where do you go I wish you were still someone that I know Looking over my shoulder, still as my shadow

Makes me think of when I used to go on long drives at night when I was single in my twenties, I can feel the compulsion to search for the one you're missing~
