• She lurks about the hallways,
    Slipping past other students,
    Who readily run into her.
    She is like a shadow, a ghost.
    People shiver when they cross her path;
    Just like her doppelgangers
    That never follow her around.

    He is like the sun, always shining,
    Popular among his peers.
    He is on the junior varsity
    Football, basketball, and baseball teams.
    He can chase down any shadow and light it up.
    He's got handsome features
    That no girl can resist.
    He will never take no for an answer.

    He saw her once at her locker.
    He walked over, aiming to rid the school
    Of its last shadow forever.
    He stood by the locker door
    And said "hi."
    He waited patiently for a reply,
    But none was given.
    She looked at him before
    Closing her locker and walking away.
    He looked for her every day after that
    But never saw her again.

    He saw her shadow, and she was gone
    Just like that.
    But it was enough.
