Shadows

My shadow says,

You never have to be alone.

And I say,

Love like that can never be known.

On all bright days,

It proudly struts along.

But when it gets dark,

Warm embraces get strong.

I tell it,

You should leave.

It responds,

Hold the love that believes.

The Universe knew,

We would get lonely.

So, it sent something hidden,

A pal for the overwhelming journey.
