Shadow

I was a shadow
Of the woman
I want to be
Until you came
And breathed your love
Into me

It pains me
Sometimes
That I don't remember
Our first time
And so many nights
Between then and now

It soothes me
Though
To know
The crazy nights
Are fewer
And further between

Someday
It could all be
Distant memory

I wonder
At that point
Who will be holding me
