Shadow in my Mind

Every time I close my eyes
I see you standing before me
I reach out to touch you
But you move further away

I stand up and walk towards you
But your walk turns into a run
All I want is to see your face
I just want to know who you are

I know who I want you to be
But I am afraid I may be disappointed
I have a strong picture of you in my mind
Oh all I want is to see your face
