As my shadow mimics my every move—

I sit in my room staring at my screen,

she moves as I do, yet I feel detached from her.

I feel her distance…

I know at nights she tries to escape me,

furthering herself from my body.

Sometimes I cannot be away from her,

so I sit alone in the darkness to recollect my thoughts.

I try so hard not to offend her,

but it’s hard peeing in the dark,

  it’s hard making love,

    it’s hard doing many things…without her near.

Why we cannot share a world,

is quite a mystery to me,

but I hope she knows…

Knows that I do not hate her.
