doesn't and will not

Do you understand how it feels to chase somebody's shadow?
You can only step on his shadow, his mirrored image, never his real being.
You grow tired from time to time, but as it has been your habit, it's hard to let go.

You've been used to it everyday.
You wake up and think of him.
You lay your head on the pillow and think of him before your eyes closed.
You see him and hope that he will look you back somehow.
But he doesn't, and will not.
He will always have someone else in his mind and unhesitantly tell you that.
You follow his darkened image every day, his shadow feels so real that you hope he will stop, turn his back and extend his hand for you.
But he doesn't, and will not.
As you've been too tired, you decide to stop. And you wonder if he would ever miss his little follower.
But he doesn't, and will not.
