A Friend Still Lacking

I am followed by one I know,
Who takes away my loneliness,
Lost without him I'll confess,
For I am one with my shadow.

In the darkness he disappears,
So at nights I stand alone,
More susceptible, I am prone,
To give into my fears.

Upon my side he does creep,
Expressionless he tries to stay,
My feelings he does not betray,
So trust in him I always keep.

But I have found it's not enough,
To have him as my only friend,
Life alone is just too tough,
And it's you I need in the end.

So if you would come with me,
My heart would be much obliged,
We'd be each other's company,
Together filling the voids left inside.
