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.
