The Shadow

The shadow between us, he does not see.
Only I am aware that the shadow has come to be.
It prevents me from loving him the way that I could.
It prevents me from loving him as much as I should.
This shadow has stolen a piece of my heart.
Even though, I'm okay with it having that part.
Wrong or right, I don not know.
All emotion for this shadow, I can not show.
Amidst all my confusion,
Exists an incredible illusion;
A picture of me
As happy as can be.
I'm standing in the arms of the man of my dreams.
Though, when I look closely, I can't make out his face it seems.
So which one could it be?
With whom am I meant to spend all eternity?
My man or my shadow?
Perhaps I'll never know.
