When I’m with you,
The gnashing of my shadow rests,
In its place is a small glimmer.
A candle that burns twice as bright,
As twin flames dance throughout the night.
When I'm with you,
I don’t fear us,
I fear having something to lose.
I don’t fear the light,
I fear the silhouettes it casts across the room.
As much as I fear myself,
I love you.
