beautiful words

her and her shadow

when she goes to sleep
her shadow leaves her side
and goes out

it lives at night
like she would during the day
and it thinks of her

it knows that it could leave
anytime of the day
but it chooses not too

because it's grown to love the girl
that it stays so close to everyday
and has gotten to know

it knows that she has the loveliest dimples
that appear when she smiles
at something that makes her happy

and also that her favorite ice cream
is mint chocolate chip
and she eats it when she's sad

and so much more
that it wouldn't dare tell
to anyone

things that have caused the shadow
to fall in love
with the girl it follows

it would love to buy her flowers
to confess it's love
but it can't

because to the girl
it's merely a shadow
that she sees everyday

but to that shadow
she's the absolute world
and it knows that it'd never leave

because the shadow
loves the girl
too much
