When you stand in your shadow,
You see a companion for yourself.
Someone you wish will never leave
you,
will walk with your step forever.
But this shadow is also there,
With you only in light.
When darkness dawns,
Even a part of you leaves you
behind.
But I promise to follow,
Never to judge, to be your rock,
When the tides crash harder.
And harder still, I’ll be there
to hold your hand.
Like quick sand, time will seep.
We may grow, distance, fall
apart,
But all through that, I promise,
I’ll be better than that betraying shadow.
Love cannot be asked for,
Our love cannot be judged.
But when it is furnished and when
it is true,
No question arises,
And we stand still,
In this quickening sand.
