The shadows hold a secret
They conceal my heart
They protect me from the pain of love
And are my only friends
The shadows hold no regret
And they will never start
They will fit around me like a glove
Until the torment ends
Slowly closing around me
Then they suddenly stop
An opening appears
A person walks toward me
I cannot see their face
The shadows allow them to pass through
While still concealing their identity
They come closer
And put their arms around me
I allow them to comfort me
While the shadows conceal us both
From life, pain, and the world
Tightening around us
Pushing us closer and closer
The closer we get to each other
The more torment that leaves us both
Until we are free of all pain
Now the shadows hold our hearts
And now they beat as one
Together now we sit,
Our lives have just begun
Shadows bring us comfort
As well as forbidden love
The shadows set us free
On the wings of a snow white dove
Together we are safe
Together we are one
Together in the shadows
Our hearts beating as one
Today, tomorrow, and forever
Shall we remain here
Held within the shadows light
Forever protected from it all
All our fears all possible pain
And pushed toward our desires
Love, happiness, health., prosperity
And most of all toward towards one another
Two souls are we
With but one heart
This is the way it was meant
Two bodies, two minds
With two hearts
Forever beating as one

I like what you did with the
I like what you did with the theme, "the shadows". They seemed to evolve, and in a very unique way, as the second person entered. I want to say, second character, but the shadows seemed to be a character, or characters of their own.
