No one but My Shadow

No one but My Shadow

I dance with my own shadow,
'Cause there's no one to hold my trembling hands,
or share soft gaze.

I dance with my own shadow,
'Cause there's no one to match my pace,
or move in the same sequence.

I danced with my own shadow,
'Cause still I couldn't find someone
Who could dance,
match my pace,
and share that soft gaze —
Just like my shadow.
