Our Shadow

I spent a lifetime chasing shadows Haunting the space where two lives crossed Just when the sun was in alignment The clouds came in and all was lost I thought I would leave you too And say, "This is it, we're through" But then I saw the dark The alchemy of you and me Our shadow A witches' brew of me and you Our shadow Can't tell one of us from the other Our forms and features overlap No light can pass between our union Our bodies blend without a gap Admiring the shade we cast I let go of futures past And watched our worlds combine A safety net in silhouette Our shadow This earthly bond will last beyond A shadow of a doubt We'll never fade.
