To love in the shadows
is a lonely way to go.
Nobody to call your own
just a dream to hold on.
How sad it must be
to watch the one you love
whispering sweet nothings
in an ear not your own.
Wanting to be the lover
but not brave enough to say.
So, here you watch in the shadows,
sad as it may.
This one is not for you
Put your feelings and desires away.
Step into the light
and see the beauty of the day.
For to love in the shadow
will only keep you dismay.
You will find the love you are seeking
once you find your heart.
So come out from the shadows
and seek the sunny day.
Feel the warmth of love all around
and render yourself today.
