Light traveling in the same direction as you would always be with you. Light traveling in the same direction as you, but behind you, would never reach you. Light traveling on an intersecting path would be received, but it'd be gone in an instant.

The speed of light is always constant no matter what speed you are going. As your speed approaches the speed of light, time slows down. Since speed is distance/time, the greater distance light will have to travel will balance out with the slowed down time, so the speed of light will always stay the same. This means light that is behind you will still reach you.
