I close my eyes.
I hide in the shadows.
I cannot bear to degrade your radiance by being with you.

You are an earthly goddess, bathed in the stars' glow, framed by the gentle breeze, and clothed with the mountains, rivers and trees. You are everything and nothing, the eternal fountain that feeds my soul, and the fatal poison that keeps me astray. I worship the ground you walk on, always watching, always hoping.

Oh! Love, that spiteful, cruel, and wicked beast that has maliciously locked my soul to yours. I am your shadow, an image of yourself caste about in darkness. I shall always follow, always be there, always chasing your heavenly being. Yet, when you turn around, you banish my presence with your brilliant light, forcing me to return once again and dream of the impossible.

I am the bleeding moon, thrown into everlasting darkness, who retreats at the first sight of your rosy-fingered dawn. But know this, I will forever be following you around the earth until the end of time itself.

My soul is your soul.
I am one with you.
May we find comfort in each others arms, if only in our dreams.

Eternally yours

I'll be
happy
in my mind....
we'll be
happy
in our
dreams...
convince me
that this is
all that
matters...
