I have known you since I was little
My mother told me scary stories about you
But I have grown to know that you are beautiful
Because just you are, like me too

You have been like a pet
I have cherished you since we met
You are me and I am you
You do like me and I do like you

We have been for so long a time
My companion, without collecting a dime
Though, your face is blank
I don't even know which colour
Just to be frank

You have followed like a tail
You have mimicked, you have been with me, even in the jail
I just want to ask " Will you still follow me to the home of every human? "
My ever faithful part
Will you stay or depart?
Shadow.
