Holding on to a shadow

I am holding on to a shadow
I am trying to catch it if I can,
The harder I try, the more it eludes
I am holding on to a shadow;

I am trying to follow it if I can
But the darkness follows me
I am looking for a light
I am holding on to a shadow

I am trying to talk to it if I can
But all I  hear is silence
The only voice which echoes is mine
I am holding on to a shadow,

I am trying to walk with it if I can
But all that walks with me is loneliness
I am looking for someone
I am holding on to a shadow

I have been holding it for a while
It's a glimpse from the past
I am holding on to a mirage!!!!!!
