Everywhere I turn

There’s a shadow that lingers,

Your memories are ever present

Before my very eyes

You radiate like the beauty you are

You are the reason I write.

In every moment

You become my very purpose,

A reason God created me

Is to be near you

My every breath

Is tied to you

This moment is what I cherish.

I’m amazed

In your hands, I’m a puppet,

My strings you control

My heart you captured

I’m just living in a shadow

A shadow you cast

A shadow I can learn to love.

If I were born again

I wish to be born just for you,

If there were multiverse

I want to belong to you

You showed me love unhinged

Warmth became my clothes

Love became my muse

You became my soul

So I’m here, here to be yours

These are my thoughts

The thoughts of someone in love

You’ve kept me remembering

I still remember a shadow of you.
