This one is good because of the repeated word 'continue'. The fact that both people in the poem are moving along separately is made painfully clear by the fact that they continue to do so... It's like a snap-shot of infinity.
I also like the way the sentences are broken between the second and third lines. At first it seems a bit jarring, but the more I read it the more it seemed appropriate. At the end of the second line there is a mini cliff-hanger as you wonder what the other person continues without... In the third line is the realisation... 'me.' With this realisation comes the second more saddening statement of loneliness.
Well.. good poem. I hope you find someone who shows you that you're not really alone
