The one I thought I loved
Had a shadow standing near
And when love seemed to have won
That's when his shadow appeared
I never saw your shadow
You were hidden from my view
At last I glimpsed your beauty
Then your shadow's all I knew
Clarity woke within me
Your sunlight touched my soul
I found comfort in your shadow
And felt your shadow take control
Though a shadow has no light
No form that most can know
It was in the light I always suffered
Yet in your shadow, I could grow
You're such a special shadow
With a warmth no light can feel
Now the light I cannot see
Yet your shadow I can't conceal
As I wander through my life
And witness beauty in all things
I have never seen such beauty
Like the beauty your shadow brings
And when at last I touch the shadow
And I feel its warm embrace
The light reveals the shadow
From the shadow comes your face
The shadow is diminished
The love you give is not
And I only see the shadow now
For the light had been forgot
In another place called comfort
In another time called "we"
Is a place where I could have loved you
Where our shadows could be free
And will the day arrive
When our shadows will combine
Who knows but maybe one day
In that shadow, it's you I'll find
