SHADOW

From the moment I saw her across my window, from the moment I saw her smile, I knew she would bring rain to my meadow.
I needed this rain, but I got a storm instead. Watching her from behind, adoring her from afar, I was captivated.

I wanted rain, and I wanted the storm.
I wanted her, and I wanted her to be mine.
I needed her, and she needed Shadow.

STORM

I remember there was light, then there was shadow.
I remember there was me, and then there was him.
It was me before him, and now it was me with him.
After him, it wasn't an option-he didn't give me one, and I didn't even want it. I wanted to stay in forever with him because I didn't like who I was before him, and I wouldn't enjoy myself after him.

I remember there was freedom, then there was a shadow.
I remember there was loneliness, and now I will never be alone.
He will always be here, behind me, watching me, following me.
I will be before him, never free, but never alone again.
I will be his storm on a sunny day, and he will be my shadow in the sunshine.
I will be his rain, and he will be my cold.
I will be his light, and he will be my dark.
